COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We doubled a traditional pilsner recipe and brewed this one using the traditional German brewing technique of single-decoction. Pilsner malts and kettle sugar boost the alcohol content. The result is a hearty pilsner that is not too sweet and complimented with a bouquet of German Hallertau hops.

bluemooner (556) - East Bethel, Minnesota, USA - MAR 10, 2012

Pours a light golden with a medium, white, foamy head and some lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, grain and grass. Flavor is yeast, biscuits, sweet malts, and light, grassy hops with a hint of alocohol. Medium body with medium carbonation. Well done.

arminjewell (4205) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - FEB 24, 2012

Pour on tap at Winterfest 2012, light yellow-orange pour with white head, aroma has notes of biscuit, some slight grass and earth notes, a slight hint of booze but rich biscuit mainly covers it up. Taste is a nice rich crackery biscuit, hints of grass and toffee, slight earthy and grassy notes, finishing fairly sweet with a slight warmth. Decent.
