Our Impression: We are always excited to brew a Pilsner. Specifically Bavarian and Bohemian style Pilsners. These beers exhibit a very strong hop attitude which is less commonplace throughout the lager brewing nations of Europe. The potency of European Noble hops is on a lower level than most American Hops. Noble hops are delicate, spicy, earthy and very pleasant, which creates a different type of hop character, in comparison to IPAs, when used in high quantities. In our experience, it takes a very large amount of nobles to really gain the appropriate hop expression for this style. Our beer straddles the line between Bavarian, and Bohemian Pilsners. The use of German malts and Czech hops brings the best of both worlds.
