As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Italian-Style Pilsener calls for assertive, crisp and aromatic hop character, 4.5 to 5.3 percent ABV, 25 to 50 IBU and 3 to 4 SRM. The published 5.1% ABV fits, and the brewery's hop-forward description matches the category; IBU cannot be checked.
