Wonderful light-bodied manna stays plainly satisfying while retaining truly substantive pilsner malt character, tempered Saaz hop herbage, zesty lemon twist and mildly creamed froth. Biscuit-y base adds Italian pepper bread, French bread and sourdough bread illusions that ultimately centralize highly sessionable Oregonian.

“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. Wispy white-peppered lemongrass snip imbues refreshingly clean floral-citric finish. 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.

CRAZY MOUNTAIN CREEDENCE PILSNER
