The Crisp
A floral hop aroma leaps from the glass of this pilsner, courtesy of Tettnang and Hallertau hops sourced directly from farmers in Tettnang, Germany. Cargill Pilsner Malt forms the backbone, and the finish stays snappy and clean. The idea took shape in ancient beer caves near the foot of the Alps. 5.4% ABV, 44 IBU, brewed year-round.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for The Crisp
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.
