Stone Pilsner (pack of 6) (35.5cl, 4.7%)

A 4.7% ABV American craft pilsner from Stone Brewing, sold in six-packs of 12 oz cans. It relies on American-grown public varietal hops, Cashmere and Vista, rather than traditional European noble hops. Stone Brewing, founded in 1996 in San Marcos, California and now headquartered in Escondido, built its reputation on aggressively hopped ales before turning to lighter styles. The pilsner is bright, floral and fruit-forward while retaining a clean malt backbone and crisp finish. The aroma brings floral and herbal hops, lemon zest, orange peel, melon and pear. The palate has melon, peach and watermelon flavours, biscuity malt and lemony brightness. The finish is dry, clean and moderately short with corn chip and breadiness.
