American Pilsners have exploded in the last five years, but are often much hoppier than their traditional German and Czech counterparts. Our goal here was to use a very fruity German hop variety, called Mandarina Bavaria, and to only use a small amount for “bittering” in the boil, instead generously “aroma” hopping in the whirlpool at the finish. The result is an incredibly crisp, clean lager, with big citrusy and fruity aromatics from the Mandarina Bavaria hops, but then minimal back end bitterness, and a dry, refreshing finish. 5.2% ABV.
