As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for American-Style Pilsener describes a pre-Prohibition style lager with medium-high noble-type hop character over medium-low to medium malt, at 4.9 to 6.0 percent ABV and 25 to 40 IBU. The 5.3% ABV fits, and the rice in the grist echoes the adjunct tradition of the style; no IBU is published.
