Grimm Artisanal Ales Chronos

style: Pilsner format: 16oz Can brewery: Grimm Artisanal Ales place: East Williamsburg, Brooklyn hops: Huell Melon, Saphir

Building its base up from step mashed German pilsner malt, we hopped with Huell Melon in the kettle, fermented in the upper 40’s, and dry hopped with Saphir — a delightful German varietal that lends black-pepper spice and a marked noble character reminiscent of Hallertau Mittelfruh. Then we lagered the beer at near-freezing temperature until it achieved a natural crystal clarity. It is quite hoppy in an old-world mode, ultra-soft on the palate, and rewards a slow pour with a dense head of snow white meringue-like foam that lasts all the way to the bottom of the pint.
