About This Beer

To make it, the crew started with a simple grist of local pilsner malt and a dash of dextrin malt. Then they hopped it with a measured dose of Saaz, Hallertau Mittelfruh, and Mandarina Bavaria and fermented it with their house Lager yeast.


Here’s where it gets really interesting: using a process called spunding, the brewers are able to trap the naturally occurring cO2 that is created during fermentation. This creates an absurdly crisp and effervescent body that’s a true joy to drink. And they aged the whole thing on jasmine green tea, accentuating the floral character already imparted from the hops.


Tasting Notes

Each snappy sip boasts delicious toasted bread notes and a faint drizzle of sweetness underneath. A touch of bitterness follows, and with rich earthy nuances peppering the back end, you’ll definitely want to nama-stay for a second helping.

Ultra-crisp and light pilsner. Remarkably powerful flavor of jasmine, adding a beautiful and unique floral profile. Finishes with a rich, matcha-like earthiness from the green tea. Super refreshing, ideal for springtime.
