Commercial Description:
This hand-crafted pilsner is brewed with the finest lager malts to yield a beer that’s golden in color and medium in body. A delicate blend of Czechoslovakian Saaz and Tettanger hops is used to produce a truly smooth, well-balanced beer with a clean, crisp finish. Our specialty brewer’s yeast contributes to its light and frothy head.

Grassy nose with an overly soft mouthfeel and mild grain astringency. Diacetyl and dms on the palate with grainy finish.

Draught, Calistoga Inn. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (cookie, caramel), lightly hoppy (flowers, apricot), with notes of peach, diacetyl, and corn syrup. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately bitter, husky. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Not very pilsner-ish.
