Second Street Agua Fria Pilsner

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. A dense white head forms with good retention and lacing, settling into a thin collar that clings to the glass throughout drinking.

◌ Aroma

Noble hop character dominates the nose with restrained floral and herbal notes, sitting atop a clean, slightly grainy malt base. The bouquet is lean and elegant, with no yeast-derived esters or phenolics, allowing the hop bitterness to announce itself as spice and mineral undertones.

◐ Taste

Crisp, dry palate entry with a bready malt body that remains light and refreshing rather than substantial. Noble hop bittering unfolds gradually across the mid-palate as herbal and mineral notes, building to a bone-dry finish with lingering hop resin and a subtle mineral bite.

◑ Finish

Bittering fades steadily into a clean, mineral-edged aftertaste with no residual sweetness. The finish is medium in length, leaving a pleasant astringency and the memory of noble hops.

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
