Brauerei Hofstetten

German Pilsner·Austria·5.2% ABV·One of 559 German Pilsners in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hofstettner Pils's bitter and dry character. Dry and spicy, with a gentle edge: Mühlviertel hops give it a firm, bitter character, and fine carbonation carries the floral hop aroma to the nose. Three hop additions with three varieties shape it: Magnum for the base bitterness, Aurora for floral aroma and Select for a mild hop bouquet. Cold, gentle fermentation and classic lagering finish the job. 5.2% ABV.
