From Bierstadt's website about the Slow Pour:

Try our Northern German-inspired Pils. It is strikingly pale, crisp and bitter. It is softly malty, aromatic and crushable. Really, this beer is the reason we brew anything. We take 30 hours to make this on the brew day, and then we lager it until anyone with any normal sense of perspective would say "enough already." If you're at the bar and it takes a little longer than normal, go with it. It's called Slow Pour for a reason.

If it gets to you without the head above the rim of the glass, then we have failed you.
