Perennial Artisan Ales Pils

Aroma: “Big citrus hops aroma. Spicy with an earthy foundation. Light sulfur notes. Mild crackery malt is hard to qualify beyond a light sweetness that drives into pear and peach notes.” Flavor: “Big spicy piney hops flavors at first bring a wash of medium bitterness afterward. There’s a malt body with light bready or saltine-cracker flavor.” Overall: “This aims to be a German Pilsner but has that American hops aesthetic with a Pils character that comes through clearly. It’s a great break from hoppy ales.”

**Aroma:** “Clean with some sulfur tones. Subtle and delicate floral tones mix with some citrus and noble spice for a nontraditional combination. Very light malt and sulfur aromas, and some more dank hops flavors emerge as it warms.” **Flavor:** “Delicate sulfur tones, with just enough biscuit malt to soften the edges of the spice and pine hops bitterness. The bitterness lingers without overdoing it, but sits on the tongue a bit too long.” **Overall:** “Intense adventurous hops flavors that would give pause to the traditionalist, but still deserves its place at the table for an ever-evolving beer consumer. The balance of the bitterness and malt creates a crispness that is welcoming and encourages a second glass.”

Aroma: “Grapefruit and lemon with a bit of stone fruit. Pine and herbal behind that. Mostly Old School with a bit of New School thrown in. As it warms, melon, cucumber, and some tropical fruit with a touch of alcohol heat.” Flavor: “Citrus and pine. A bit of honey and caramel. Medium sweet into intense bitter that lingers. Really interesting grapefruit-pith character. Some significant alcoholic warmth. Smooth for a West Coast IPA.” Overall: “A dank, boozy IPA that is what this style is known for.”
