Yardstick Imperial Pilsner by Moa Brewing Company is a unique and captivating beer that takes the traditional pilsner style to new heights. This 10% ABV offering has been aged for 9 months in used pinot barrels that were previously conditioned with premium Scotch whisky, imparting a rich, complex character. The beer has been dry-hopped twice in the barrel with Motueka and Nelson Sauvin hops, resulting in a bold, hoppy profile. On the palate, you'll find a delightful interplay of peat-smoky notes and a dry, vinous quality, leading to a highly bitter and slightly alcohol-driven finish. This is a beer that showcases the artistry and innovation of the Moa Brewing Company, inviting beer enthusiasts to explore the boundaries of the pilsner style.
