NEW – Pilzé from Goose Island

by

LAGER BREWED WITH HIBISCUS & BLACKBERRY

20 IBU
4.70% ABV

PILZÉ

BRIGHT, BUBBLY, AND FLORAL

What started as an inside joke between brewers about the rising trendiness and cringeworthy instagram posts of Rosés, turned into a beer concept that sounded too good not to pursue. With a blush of color from blackberry and Hibiscus, Pilzé is bursting with a bright, floral and Fruit nose. Bubbly and tart mouthfeel? Of course it has a Bubbly and tart mouthfeel. If we didn’t get that right, then this beer wouldn’t be deserving of that fancy accent mark. To further the complexity of this mashup of a beer, our brewers used Hallertau Blanc hops to impart that bright white grape character to wash down your avocado toast. #PilzéAllDay
