Premium Pils
Finely spiced and hop-aromatic, with a pleasant bitter edge and a fresh feel. Straw-yellow in the glass, 4.9 % ABV and 30 IBU, from a 11.3 °P wort. Cold fermentation and a long maturation shape it. Perle, Magnum and Ariana go in over three hop additions, and the hops are grown in the Elbe-Saale region, and the beer is brewed in Altenburg.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Premium 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.

What is a German Pilsner?
Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
