COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The fifth iteration of our annual limited beer series, ‘04, features a new look and some more premium ingredients. First, ‘04 is the lightest in color of the limited beers that we have created. However, to assume that it is less intense than our previous versions would be a mistake. In order to balance out the ample European Pils malt in this pale colored lager we have used the four Noble hops (Hallertau, Tettenanger, Spalt, and Saaz). For centuries these hops have been singled out in the brewing industry for their superior qualities and, in ‘04, provide an exceptionally complex bitterness and aroma. It is this special combination that creates, yet, another unique brew. It is extremely limited, extremely strong, and extremely original, because as we like to say around here: “It’s All About Extremes!” 14.0% Alcohol by Volume.

Clean golden pour with white head and lace. Aroma of sweet malt and abv. Sweet malt, abv and very light bitter. Medium body with little to no carbonation. A good beer for me cause I’m not a big fan of huge carb.
