FIRESTONE PIVO HOPPY PILSNER
“Classic” yellow-cleared German-styled pilsner retains citric-herbed hop earthiness and biscuity pale malt toasting. “Hoppy” IPA-like bittering brings forth zesty yellow grapefruit and orange peel subtleties.

On tap at Taphouse 15, aggressive Bavarian pils (inspired by dry-hopped Birrificio Italiano’s Tipopils) retains semi-sharp Saphir-hopped lemongrass musk, bitter lemon rind pungency, bergamot orange tartness, dark floral aspect and herbal black peppering above wheat husked French breading.
