The emergent Italian Pilsner style is hard to define, but Left Field’s version uses Eraclea barley from near the Adriatic Sea, so it has terroir on its side. The light dusting of confection sugar on the nose seems to frame the lemon zest and light herbal bitterness on the palate, although it eventually finishes extremely dry with a touch of Campari-Chinotto bitterness. One sips sweet and bitter alternately.
