A Note on This Beer

Don your lederhosen! Grow out your braids or beards! Chill your steins! You folks know Oktoberfest actually starts in September, right?

Which is practically tomorrow.

That means it’s about time to stock up on some clean and crisp German Pilsners — especially ones made with 100% German pilsner malt and Tettnanger Hops!

To craft this seasonal sipper, the Mountains Walking brewers used time-tested European brewing traditions. They step-mashed to start — progressively increasing the mash temperature to create particular flavors and mouthfeels. Then, they allowed the Pilsner to naturally carbonate and cold-condition for over 2 months!

The resulting brew has craft fans like @Dar B. guzzling it by Das Boot-ful: “Second can is just as good as the first! Flowery, perfectly balanced. Doesn’t get a whole lot better!”

So prep your schnitzel and practice shouting “Prost!” We might not be celebrating in Munich this year, but Mountains Walking is bringing that authentic German craftsmanship right into the comfort of our homes.

Great pilsner....clean crisp and refreshing. Could imagine sitting outside in a beer garden on a sunny day drinking these

The view of this elixir is classic clear burnished bright and clear straw color and a fluffy head. The aroma is grainy with a slight puff of sulfur. The flavor is clean and soft a with a gentle sweet finish from a rounded mouthfeel. The carbonation is not sharp and helps to leave the simple grains and appropriate amount of hops to do their work. This is a fabulous Pilsner overall.

This is an absolute gem of a Pilsner. Mountains Walking got the German Pilsner style just right, making something crisp, not too bitter, clean, and dry. This is beer heaven.

I don’t often rate pilsners this high. But Wow! What an enjoyable, drinkable yet surprisingly complex beer.

Nice balance. Lightly grainy and lightly hoppy ... crisp and clean. Nice for the 70 degree weather today.

Fresh, clean, sweet. Floral hops but no bitterness throughout. Sweet malts on the front end and grainy on the backend. Crushable and sessionable
