In this episode, Paul from reviews the Pilsner Italiano from Capital Brewing, a crisp and refreshing beer perfect for the warmer weather. This Italian Pilsner features a 5.5% ABV, offering a unique take on the traditional German Pilsner, with an Italian twist using dry hops.

First Impressions and Tasting Notes

The Pilsner Italiano immediately stands out with its lemony aroma, thanks to the dry hopping with Lemon Drop hops. Paul describes it as having the freshness of lemon peel and wet grass, evoking memories of cutting grass on a hot day. The beer’s straw colour and subtle minerality from the carbonation add to its crisp character.

A Perfect Springtime Beer

This Pilsner is the ideal choice for a hot spring day, offering light acidity without being overly bitter. The balance of Pilsner malt with the citrusy kick from the hops makes it a refreshing and easy-drinking brew that’s hard to resist. Paul notes the similarity to a chilled San Pellegrino with lemon, making it a great companion for the spring season.
