Purgatory Pilsner

Purgatory Pilsner Wine Details
Price:

Description: Purgatory Pilsner is a Deluxe American Lager brewed with an infusion of domestic 6-row barley, corn, and a combination of Pacific Northwest hops. After a highly controlled fermentation is complete, this high-gravity brew is aged until our trained tasting team deems it suitable for cellaring and finishing. Finishing with a straw-yellow brilliant color, this malty / sweet lager is accented with a low hop aroma and slight bitterness to round the presentation.

Varietal Definition
Pilsner:
Pilsner styles of beer originate from Bohemia in the Czech Republic. They are medium to medium-full bodied and are characterized by high carbonation and tangy czech varieties of hops that impart floral aromas and a crisp, bitter finish. The hallmark of a fresh pilsner is the dense, white head. The alcohol levels must be such as to give a rounded mouthfeel, typically around 5% ABV. Classic pilsners are thoroughly refreshing, but they are delicate and must be fresh to show their best. Few beers are as disappointing to the beer lover as a stale pilsner.
