From the bottle:
You are about to enjoy Lightning’s version of a fine German Pilsner. This is a pale smooth-drinking beer with hints of noble hop character. We use German Pilsnermalt, German hop varieties, and a selected Bohemian lager yeast to create this Lager Bier. Our traditional methods of cold filtering and natural carbonation produce a clean look and taste. Elemental Pilsner is brewed in keeping with the Reinheitsgebot, The Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516.
From my notes:
Clear, crisp, carbonated, this light amber colored beer has a big bubbled head that quickly dissipates to a thin 1/2 inch. Smells of grainy malts and some floral and grassy hints. On the tongue the beer is floral with honey like taste with more of that malt as well. The finish is all Noble hops and it’s one of the strongest finishes I’ve had in a Pilsner.
Another beer from a local brewery. Elemental is a good Pilsner, not as good as my favorite Pilsner but still really good. Pils are known for their bitter finish but Elemental goes up a notch or two more so be ready for that. If you’re looking for pairings this beer would go well with German or Japanese cuisine, or peppery cheeses.
