Built on a base of pilsner malt, with co-stars including: Munich, melanoidin, and a sprinkle of Carafa II de-husked. They all combine their efforts to present a complex malt profile with a beautiful amber hue. A wallop of ginger snap cookies were added to the mash as well, for funzies, and to lend some of their talents to the fold. A wisp of Helios hops provide neutral balance, while a traditional Augusteiner-style lager yeast rounds everything out nicely.
Gobs of crystallized ginger and cinnamon sticks were added to the tail end of fermentation as well to further boost the aromatics, without being overpowering.
Fermented low and slow for many moons for a brilliantly clear color and crisp finish that maintains a light heft of body. Swing yourselves on down to the taproom and snag some of this lovely liquid libation!
Cheers, y’all!
