Description

A truly refreshing crispy pilsner on a hot day is a thing of awesomeness that you will have to go a long way to beat.

Using the finest traditional ingredients is key, as well as having great brewing skills as there really is nowhere to hide on this one.

Slightly sweet, biscuity, bready nose, its a beer you will want to keep on drinking.

Time though is something you will need to achieve the best results, that and patience not to rush it.

Comments:

A true classic Crispy Boi!! Crushing refreshment, malty goodness. Be warned, there is no where to hide on this style, brewing will require temperature control, patience and some understanding of water adjustments to get this one right. But it will reward you in massively when you get it brewed and fermented correctly.

Yeast is not included, so you can select your preference and volume required or if you wish to make a starter rather than buying multiple packs.
