Just kegged. Another great beer in the works.

After 1 week of fermentation, I have kegged the beer. Nice and clean. Hop bitternes high but smooth as traditional for a German Pils. Yeast does leave some sweetness. Looking forward to tasting next week when its fully carbonated and cold.

After first taste the hop bitterness is high but smooth. Style true for a German Pilsner. Only single detractor is that it is not perfectly clear. Otherwise this is a perfect beer for those who German Pilsners.
