Pipeworks Premium Pilsner (pack of 4) (47.3cl, 4.9%)

A German-style pilsner from Chicago's Pipeworks Brewing Company, packaged as a four-pack of 16-ounce cans at 4.9% ABV. It is a core beer brewed in the traditional German pilsner style with noble hops and a focus on restrained, balanced drinkability. Pipeworks launched with a model of releasing a new beer every week, earning RateBeer's Best New Brewery distinction in 2012. The Premium Pilsner graduated from that experimental pipeline into year-round production. The aroma leads with spicy, grassy noble hops, followed by cracker-like malt, subtle floral notes and faint honeyed sweetness. The palate is light and bready with lemon-lime citrus and delicate malt sweetness. The finish is crisp, dry and bittersweet, with grassy hops lingering cleanly.
