Second Street Agua Fria Pilsner
Second Street's German-style Pilsner — 5.3% ABV, noble-hop bittering laid over floor-malted Pilsner base, dry-crisp finish. Named for the Agua Fria acequia running through Santa Fe. Fuller than a Mexican lager, more traditional than a Czech — the German-Pils middle-ground in the New Mexico brewery's core.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Second Street Agua Fria Pilsner
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.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
