Gunslinger Pilsner

Gunslinger Pilsner Wine Details
Price:

Description: Cool, calm, and collected; his eyes always focused on the target. Gunslinger Pilsner is our Czech style pilsner with a generous dose of Czech Saaz hops and Bohemian Pilsner malts to match. Don’t expect a toned down pilsner. Gunslinger was the winner of LoneRider’s 2009 Brew It Forward homebrew competition. The recipe is designed by homebrewer Kevin Cosentino of Wilmington, NC and then brewed by Kevin and the LoneRider brew crew.

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.
