Aarhus Extra Pilsner

Denmark·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Aarhus Extra Pilsner is clear and golden under a white head, with a fresh scent of fine malt and a distinct hop aroma. It tastes crisp and dry, with a marked bitterness and a long, fresh finish. The extra hopping gives it more depth and bite than the traditional Danish pilsner, and the fresh malt profile keeps it balanced. A classic pilsner with a Czech-inspired character.

The nose opens with prominent noble-hop character, releasing herbaceous and floral notes that define the Czech-inspired profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and dry, with the pilsner malt providing a soft, bready foundation that develops into a sustained bitter character. Mid-palate reveals layered hop bitterness with herbal and spicy dimensions, while the malt remains supportive without dominance. The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, with the 22 IBU marking registering as a confident, well-articulated bite rather than aggressive intensity.
