BH aan de Waslijn is built around the restraint that defines a good pilsner. Columbus and Saaz hops provide the backbone, with Saaz doing most of the character work: herbal, spicy, precisely Czech in feel. There's no sweetness compensating for the lack of alcohol, no tropical fruit making up the numbers. Just a pale straw pour, tight white head, and 18 IBU of clean bitterness. The malt base is light grain, mostly background. The aroma is lightly floral with that characteristic Saaz herbal note sitting on top. On the palate it's crisp and dry, with a body that stays genuinely light rather than watery. The finish is short and herbal, fading cleanly without cloying. For a brewery that built its name on NEIPAs and hop-forward ales, a pilsner feels like a deliberate challenge. At EBC 6 it's one of the palest things in the range, and probably the most unforgiving style to pull off without alcohol. It's a credible effort.
