hoppy lager

This dry-hopped west coast pilsner is the perfect beer for summer sessions.

Appearance: Pale golden with a slight haze. A bright, effervescent pour capped by a dense, white head that lingers and leaves fine lacing.

Aroma: Fresh and vibrant. Notes of gooseberry, white grape, and tropical fruit from the Nelson Sauvin, layered with Mosaic’s punchy aromas of blueberry, papaya, and a hint of pine. A soft bread backbone from the pilsner malt supports the bouquet of hops.

Flavor: Hop-forward yet balanced. Juicy white wine-like flavors from Nelson Sauvin blend with Mosaic’s tropical citrus and subtle herbal bite. The malt character is clean and restrained - light honeyed cracker and grain with just enough sweetness to frame the hops.

Mouthfeel: Light-bodied and crisp with a smooth, dry finish. Moderate carbonation adds to the beer’s refreshing quality, making it highly drinkable.

Overall Impression: A modern twist on the classic pilsner - bright, aromatic, and crisp. The dry hop character shines without overwhelming the delicate malt base. Perfect for hop lovers looking for something clean and crushable.

Tasting Notes:

A bright and expressive take on a new-school lager, this hoppy Pilsner doesn’t bother whispering — it leads with a confident burst of white grape, gooseberry, and tropical citrus that could trick you into thinking you’re sipping something far louder than a pale lager. Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic team up in the dry hop to deliver a punchy, fruit-forward nose that hits like Sauvignon Blanc spiked with blueberries and papaya, while still letting the crisp, bready spine of Pilsner malt do its job. Feather-light on the palate with a snap-clean finish, it drinks like a classic but hums with the kind of hop presence that keeps IPA drinkers coming back for another pour. Subtle pine, a flicker of bitterness, and a crisp dryness seal the deal — an unapologetically refreshing beer that plays nice with sunshine, good company, and one more round.
