Dovetail Pils (pack of 4) (4.6%)

Dovetail Pils is a German-style pilsner brewed in Chicago by Dovetail Brewery at 4.6% ABV, sold in a four-pack of cans. The brewery was founded in 2016 by Hagen Dost and Bill Wesselink, both trained in traditional European brewing methods, and employs decoction mashing, open fermentation and horizontal lagering tanks. The pils draws inspiration from the pilsners of Franconia, a region in northern Bavaria known for drier, more hop-accented lagers. It is distinct from Dovetail's Czech-style Pilsner. The aroma opens with light biscuity grain, followed by clean floral hops and a subtle cracker-like quality. The palate is smooth and malt-driven, with biscuity, lightly toasted grain and gradually building hop bitterness. The finish is dry and snappy, with a crisp close and gentle lingering bitterness.
