After saving the awesome yeast from his Start It Up! American light lager, Taylor Caron uses the yeast to brew this overly hoppy German Pils with something of a hybrid Bavarian malt bill and zealous Northern hops bill. The gravity is a touch high for the style, but it works well with the heavy bittering charge. The high carbonation gives an almost stinging bite to that first sip, making way for the spicy Tettnanger in the finish.
