Blitz — Italian Keller Pils Toscana, Podere La Berta

Blitz is the Italian Keller Pils from Podere La Berta (Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena): slightly hazy, Tuscan in spirit, German in inspiration. 4.8% vol., 32 IBU, in a 33cl can. A beer that doesn't lie: bitter without half measures, fresh, assertive, impossible to stop drinking.

Sensory Profile

• Color: Slightly hazy straw yellow — fine and persistent white foam
• Aroma: Malty fragrance of crackers and bread crust, floral and herbal notes from Saaz and Saphir hops
• Taste: Precise balance between malty sweetness and herbal, spicy bitterness from the hops
• Finish: Assertive bitterness, herbal, spicy, fresh — the Italian school of uncompromising bitterness
• IBU: 32 — pronounced and declared bitterness, for those who know what they want

The Hops: Saaz and Saphir

Blitz uses two noble hop varieties: the classic Saaz from Bohemia, a symbol of the pilsner tradition, and the Saphir from Germany, used in dry hopping to enhance the floral and citrus notes in cold. The result is a Pils with a more complex aromatic profile than usual, without losing the cleanliness and freshness of the style.
