Foothills Brewing Torch Pilsner

“Crisp, herbal, citrusy Noble hops draw one in with excitement. Medium bitterness, day-old tea bag (on the pleasant side) hop character, clean fermentation.”

“Cracker and bready malt up front; classic herbal, grassy Noble-hop profile. Slight sulfur gives the impression of freshness. Subdued flavor compared to the aroma, but more bready malt and herbal hops. Dry, low residual sweetness, maybe a touch thin. Very classic and well executed. Would be very approachable on a hot summer day.”

Aroma: “Slight phenolic and resin notes up front, almost plastic-like or waxed candy. Moderate perfume and fruity floral hops aromas. Very subtle biscuit and bread malt.” Flavor: “Similar to the aroma, with moderate-to-high perfume and sweet spicy hops flavors. Just enough biscuit and bready malt to keep the balance in check. The spiciness from the hops dances off of the medium carbonation to help lighten what feels like a higher gravity beer.” Overall: “The hops definitely take the lead here. A beer that overthinks its hops choice, which ultimately distracts from a decent malt profile and clean ferment. Not a Pils to drink all day, but tasty nonetheless.”
