hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dry and crisp character as Holsten Pilsener. Holsten Pilsener is the brewery's flagship and the beer most people mean when they order a Holsten in northern Germany. It is bottom-fermented from water, barley malt and hops at 11.2 °P original gravity, giving 4.8% alcohol and 28 bitterness units, and pours a pale golden colour. Light grainy malt and a crisp, cracker-like base carry a herbal, slightly grassy hop note. The finish is dry, with the clean, moderate bitterness the brewery calls feinherb. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
Closest match: Beck's Pils — 99%. Same dryness and crispness, with a floral edge Holsten-Brauerei keeps quiet.
