I love slightly hoppy pilsners as well as goldish lagers. Problem is I don't run across many recipes. I realize that "hoppy" means different things to different people so..
Also with so many different hops available, it's difficult to decide what and how to brew something like this. For me, it's much more difficult to nail down a good hoppy lager as opposed to a traditional IPA. The malt bill of a pilsnerish beer isn't nearly as forgiving as a 1.070 heavily hopped IPA.
How about people post their concepts or recipes that they have brewed along with some sensory descriptions and how long those beers have been in kegs or bottles.
Personally, I love spicy and floral beers with a touch of citrus or other new world hop character.
I recently brewed a pilsner w Saaz and I threw in .25 oz of citra at 10 min and another .25 at flameout. I know this probably isn't hoppy enough for some but I'm hoping it adds a touch of character. I just kegged so I'll have to wait a few weeks before I report back.
