German Pils
A German-style pilsner, brewed in Newcastle upon Tyne. Mittelfrüh and Hallertau Blanc whole-leaf hops bring a subtle spice and hints of citrus, with a crisp bitterness set against the sweet malt. The brewery builds it on the finest German malt, and at 5% it is poured on draught and sold in cans, including at its own taproom.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for German Pils
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
