Beers similar to Grolsch Premium Pilsner

Grolsche Bierbrouwerij

German Pilsner·Netherlands·5% ABV·One of 489 German Pilsners in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Grolsch Premium Pilsner's malty and noble-hoppy character. Malty depth from pale Dutch malts meets a soft-bitter finish, with a green hop aroma over a golden pilsner. Two Hallertau hops do the work, Emerald and Magnum, and the story goes that around 1650 apprentice Peter Kuijper picked a second hop to win his master's daughter. At 5.0% it comes in the swing-top bottle that Grolsch kept when the crown cap became standard.
