Beers similar to Holgate Premium Pilsner

Holgate Brewhouse

German Pilsner·Australia·5% ABV·One of 393 German Pilsners in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Holgate Premium Pilsner's dry and floral character. Brewed since 2002 and a fixture at the Woodend brewpub, this pilsner is cold fermented and given an extended cold maturation. Pilsner malt sets a lean, faintly biscuity base that turns towards honey once the glass warms, while Czech Saaz brings grassy, floral and herbal notes over a delicate aroma. It pours pale gold and clear, the body is medium, and an earthy, forward bitterness carries a dry, crisp finish.
