Offshore Pilsner

Tap to rate

A pale straw lager brewed with Czech yeast and continental hops, named after the offshore wind that surfers on the north Cornish coast wait for. The brewery traces its line back to a Cornish Pilsner first brewed in 2011. The aroma is herbal with a lemon note; the taste is crisp and light with clean fruit and restrained bitterness. The finish is brisk and dry, leaving citrus behind.
