Sorcerer's Lab: Spitzenklasse

Pale Heidelberg Style Pilsner with German hops.

Sorcerer's Lab is a series of beers from Amager Bryghus that carries the torch even further than our previous experimental series, Brewer's Playtime, did. Where that series consisted mostly of interpretations of IPAs, Sorcerer's Lab will also dig into styles we rarely do - or may never have done at all. Why? Because we are constantly curious, not only about the new fad in hops or the fanciest pastry to pour into a huge, sticky Stout, but also about what can be learned from old, tried and tested styles brought into the modern beer era - albeit with a twist.
That pale, yellow lure in a beer usually - if not always - indicates that the contents of this can are of an easygoing and quenching sort. And that is pretty precisely what our target was with this German Style Pilsner. To create something light and quaffable with the hops being present in a faint and flowery way, but never stealing the show as they intendedly do so in many modern IPAs. This is a beer for drinking, not for boasting. It's as simple as that.
