Commercial Description:
Pure pils pleasure with a juicy jolt... Our latest single hop varietal pils features a fresh twist. A very fresh twist as whole flower hops went from the vine to the kettle in a mere 10 hrs. giving the beer a snap of freshness that has to be tasted to be believed. In 'wet hopped' beers such as this, the hops are full of fresh oils that dissipate when the hops normally dried. These essential oils give Braumeister Harvest Pils the clean, spicy hop aromas you'd expect from a pristine pilsner, followed by the long, satisfying mouthfeel full of flavorful hop depth and substance. All this flavor yields to clean malt and a crisp finish.

On tap at TDR (Springhouse). Poured a deeper and slightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of grass, earthiness, and some citrus. Tastes of grass, citrus, and biscuit.

Any first impressions?
-A ring of foam stands atop the lightly-hazed pale blond.
-Citrus fruit and floral spiciness are derived from the hops, drawing a rustic landscape on the nostrils.
-Crisp citrus fruit freshen up the crunchy hay, evolving into a stunning sandy, wooden finish.
-Very well-malted and smooth, this creamy body amazes with its quenching abilities and its apparent fullness.

What if you dig deeper?
-I just want to lose myself into those flirtatious hops.
-The finish sagaciously lathers wooden, sandy hops, surrounded by gingery, citrusy hop oils.
-The haystack is chewy and sustaining throughout.
-I’m not sure about the Kellerbier designation, but who cares, this is a fabulous unfiltered German pils. Absolutely lovely.

On tap at Barcade, Brooklyn.

Draft @ Frisco Grille it’s a moderately hazy golden yellow with a pure white head. Somewhat of a starchy nose of sourdough, some light lemon, light pils malt and a clean, fresh pillow yeast. Flavor is mildly bitter, mildly dry, with a very clean and inviting crispness to the cracker-flavored malt base, and a mild, musty yeast character throughout. Good stuff.

Another very good pils from Victory. This one pours slightly hazy dark straw colored, with a 2-finger frothy white head. The aroma provided bready malt, some hops, and grassy citrus. The flavor had an initial dry hop pop, followed up by some bready honey malt and piney citrus elements. Complex, crisp, and smooth, this one is a great complement to the Prima pils.
