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 Victory: This beer kicks ass. I love really hoppy pilsners. I can never get enough european style hoppiness in my pilsners.. Mt Hood works awesome in this new amped up version. Pours mostly clear with some haze-light golden color and a creamy, frothy pure white head. Aroma has that eastern european hop character- lots of spicy floral aromas with hints of dry earthiness and light grassiness. Flavor is well rounded- initially with lots of hops upfront and then again in the finish, but then in the middle you get lots of pure fresh bready pils malt for balance. FInishes mostly light and dry with a powerful bitterness for a pilsner. I loved this beer.

On tap at Grey Lodge. Light golden color with white head. Citrusy, floral hop aroma with similar aroma to Prima Pils, only better. Taste is pretty damn good - Smooth, floral hop taste that is nicely balanced with great pils malt. Truly unique - I felt like I could keep drinking this all day. Refreshing taste that it the best Pilsener around by a long shot.

Poured a hazy golden color with a medium sized, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, piney hops, doughy malt, and lemongrass. Taste of more dough, citrus, and piney hops, with a bitter grapefruit finish. Another amazing Victory pils!

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.

Draught at Blue Dog Chalfont. Clear shiny golden body with a pillowy white head. Fresh pils malt nose with honeydew and bright floral hop tones. Crisp, semi-dry hoppy flavor with good pils malt backing. Spicy, dry finish, but malt quality lingers through. A very nicely balanced and well-dialed-in keller pils. Very quaffable and cravable.
