Magic Trail

Classic · German Pilsner · 5.2% ABV

Magic Trail

This extended conditioned Lager has Noble hop spice notes and a clean cracker-like malt base resulting in a most refreshing beverage. Trail, our German-style Pilsner, has been given an extended retreat in our lager cellar. Brewed in late summer, spunded and naturally carbonated ever so slowly, it's shining like never before.

Magic Trail pours a brilliant yellow hue, with noble hop spice notes that mingle with a clean, cracker-like malt base. It is one of our crispiest lagers and finishes with an exceptionally clean, mineral character. Each batch of Magic Trail is a time capsule, brewed months in advance and lagered cold for an extended period to heighten the characteristics of its crushable body. There was still snow on the ground when we laid this batch to rest in our stainless steel horizontals, and it's been awaiting summer's arrival ever since. Lagers of quiet elegance are such a delightful experience, especially when you choose to find their nuance. In Magic Trail, months of stillness, poured cold and gone too soon.

Extra conditioning = Extra Crispy. Magic Trail has returned. Making room in the schedule to rest a beer for months on end is difficult when we have so many ideas we want to bring to life. Magic Trail makes it an easy sacrifice, with every corner of the beer softened and refined through patience and intention. Whether on draft or in the can, this beer is a pointed example of the progress of our classic program, which has been over a decade in the making. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

The cellar team at Tree House works arduously and passionately to develop and steward our classic beers through their lifespan in our cellar. To that end, here we are Magic Trail, a rendition of Trail that spent three months conditioning in our horizontal stainless cellar. The result is an elevated expression of Trail that is simply sublime. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
