Stivot
NEW WORLD PILS 5%
Stivot is back after a long hiatus and totally re-imagined. Previously Stivot was essentially a pale ale fermented with Lager Yeast. We used modern hops late in the boil and dry hop and honestly it never really turned out like it was supposed to… But we really liked the name so we redid the label and the bier. Instead of tons of late hopping we actually took the opposite approach and only hopped it at the very beginning of he boil (70 minutes and 40 minutes for my fellow nerds) with tons of American Noble Citra. American Noble Citra is actually the byproduct of Cryo production. Instead of concentrated hop oils is actually lower in oil but higher in green matter similar to noble Hop varieities traditionally used for Pilsners. So we brewed an incredibly traditional German Pilsner, hopped it like a traditional Pils, but with a modern American low alpha hop variety. The result is something that drinks like a Pils but has a touch more fruit character and sweetness mid pallet. If you’re expecting intense Citra character, you’re not gonna get it. It’s a subtle bier that’s incredibly easy to drink and offers a unique spin on a traditional style.
