I named this beer in honor of Pearl Brewing founder Otto Koehler, and all the Pearl Beer I drank in college in San Antonio (6.99 a case!!!). No, I wasn't trying to make Pearl, but I was looking for a lower gravity/lighter beer to make as a starter beer for a dopplebock. Think baby German Pils. It's lower gravity and light, but plenty tasty. Use whatever continental or noble hops for IBUs of around 20. I had a bunch of Saaz so that's what I used.
This little guy will ferment fast and clear fast, and will taste delicious! Here is a picture, for some reason I can never get one of a full glass.
