Gold color. Aromas and flavors of candied lemon, juniper and jasmine, red apple skins, and baking spices and Christmas potpourri with a round, lively, spritzy, dry medium body and an interesting, long finish with nuances of toast points, juniper and white flowers, orange zest, and baking spice. Baking spices, flowers, and citrus on the nose with a rich bready mid-palate and clean finish; Helles drinkers wary of Pilsner’s punch, fear not.

About

Pilsner

Pilsners are pale to golden straw in color and range in alcohol from 4.5-6%. The hallmark of a fresh pilsner is a dense, white head. The alcohol levels must be such as to give a rounded mouthfeel. These beers are medium-bodied and are characterized by high carbonation and tangy Czech and German varieties of hops that impart floral aromas and a crisp, bitter finish. This style originated in Bohemia in the Czech Republic. German pilsner styles are similar, though often slightly lighter in body and color. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Pilsner Urquell, Paulaner Premium Pils, Brooklyn Brewery Brooklyn Pilsner and Victory Prima Pils.
