German Pilsner
Aroma: Clean pils malt with soft grainy-sweet character; subtle earthy/nutty note from fonio; low floral/spicy noble hop aroma; no esters. Appearance: Pale straw to light gold; brilliant clarity; tight white head with strong retention. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body; moderate carbonation (~2.6 vols); smooth, slightly rounder than typical Pils due to adjunct contribution; very drinkable. Flavor:Light crackery pils malt supported by a delicate nutty/earthy fonio character; low to moderate bitterness (softer than traditional German Pils); subtle herbal/floral Tettnang presence; clean fermentation with a crisp, slightly dry finish.. Overall Impression: Fonio Pilsner A modern twist on a classic Pilsner, brewed with ancient West African fonio. Bright, crisp, and refreshing, it layers soft malt sweetness with a subtle nutty character and a whisper of noble hops. Clean and easy-drinking with a refined edge—this is a crusher with a story.
