Player Stats:
As its name suggests, this Pilsner does not like to be categorized.

The assertively hopped Freestyle Pilsner exudes the flavor and the aroma of the classic Saaz hop (a tribute to -the original- pilsner), while maintaining enough body to balance but not overpower this hop-s pleasant, spicy tone. An unhurried lagering process makes this beer a light, clean, and thirst quenching beer.
