What Our Editors Thought

Mildly earthy and floral nose is subdued but confident, while the sip aligns a very clean and trim pilsner with a soft hopping hand for a friendly and approachable beer that whispers rather than screams.

What Our Panel Thought

Muted classic Noble hops on the nose balance a hefty dollop of Tupelo-like honey from the malt. Pretty clean, Northern German hop bitterness, touch of sulfur, elevated Noble hop flavors with good floral and light raspberry flavor, honey graham cracker malt, and a clean, crisp finish.

What the Brewers Say

Floral aromatics, spicy herbal nuances, and lemongrass notes from German Saphir hops.
