Blue Ghosts
Blue Ghosts is a German-style pilsner and the best-selling beer at Whiplash. It relies on classic noble hops instead of modern aroma varieties, and they bring herbal, lightly spicy and citrus notes to a clean, bright lager. The hop character is pronounced for a pils, yet it stays balanced and ends crisp. At 5.2% it is refreshing and easy to drink, made with warm days and beer gardens in mind.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Blue Ghosts
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.
