“A Northern German (Friesian) Pilsener that is characteristic of the style. It is a little more hoppy than Czech pilseners giving it a more bitter (“herb” in German) flavour.”

Glassware: Stein.
Appearance: Bright golden-yellow pour with two fingers of snow-white head perched on top. Good retention and healthy lace work on the glass.
Aroma: Smells of pure German brilliance. Ultra crisp and clean with superior contrast between the spicy, herbal and earthy Noble hops and the biscuity and semi-sweet honey malts. Soft notes of rice crackers and umami also getting a look in. This is just pilsner perfection. Absolutely flawless aroma.
Flavour: Follows on from the nose with its excellent balance between the hops and malts. Coupled with a tempered bitterness and crisp dryness. It mellows into a bready and crackery mid palate then it rounds off on a dry, mildly bitter and grassy finish which hangs around for days on the back end.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, clean and refreshing. Perfectly carbed. Mild-moderate body and the 4.9% ABV is bang on for the style.
Overall: As far as high quality trad pilsners go, this is right up there. Easily on par with the likes of Weihenstephaner, Warsteiner or Rothaus so it seems crazy to us that we’re only being introduced to this now. Top shelf stuff.
