How is this different from Rahr To Thee Pils™?
Compared to Rahr To Thee Pils™, North Star Pils™ offers a slightly more expressive malt profile with notes of honey and sweet bread. While both are low color pilsner malts with excellent lautering performance, North Star Pils™ leans a bit more toward traditional malt character, whereas To Thee Pils™ is designed to be even lighter in color with a cleaner, more neutral profile for maximum hop and yeast expression.
