Smith & Lentz Brewing Pepperoni Castle Dry Hopped Pilsner
What the brewers say
“Pilsner dry-hopped with Simcoe.”
What our panel thought
“Bold aroma of dank pine, orange citrus, and peach carries through into the sip with a hint of diesel joining the fray. Somewhat heavy body. Finish leans hard into a bold bitterness that matches the assertiveness of the initial aroma.”
What our editors thought
“Soft citrus on the nose, IPA-like in its boldness. Freer in the sip, as the very light body, low bitterness, and medium citrus hop notes play a more balanced role than in the aroma. Somewhere between West Coast pils and cold IPA.”
