What the brewers say

“Pale German lager brewed with Hallertau Mittelfruh and Tettnanger.”

What our panel thought

“Light touch of sulfur sets the lager stage, with a fine herbal hop aroma and faint backbone of clean cracker-like malt. A somewhat assertive bitterness lingers well into the finish, balanced by a light malt body, bright carbonation, and a clean, crisp finish.”

What our editors thought

“Orange blossom and light herbal spice in the nose lead to a soft malt sip punctuated by just a touch of herbal bitterness. Distant and reserved.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Liquid Mechanics Brewing Company Czech Shifty

“Refreshing and crisp with a moderate bitterness in the finish. Light spice, grass, and raspberry from the hops hit the tongue in the middle. A more modern take. Includes everything one wants out of a pilsner and doesn’t overdo any one component.”

Liquid Mechanics Brewing Company Schwarzenegger

“Floral and soapy hop aromatics are complemented by a gentle roasty malt profile with hints of chocolate and light coffee. The gentleness of the roast character carries through into the flavor creating a wonderful balance without acrid bitterness, all in a clean and crisp body. Each element subtly contributes to a full-flavored but delicate beer, pulling it together beautifully.”

4 Noses Brewing Company Foeder Helles

“Hints of stone fruit and a light banana in the aroma complement more pronounced floral hops and clean malt notes. A touch of woody tannin creates a pleasant, defined edge over the sweet, grainy malt, and herbal, floral bitterness—tempering the sweetness and softening the bitterness.”
