◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

Entry reveals a light, clean palate with pronounced cracker and bread malt character balanced by moderate bittering. Mid-palate develops citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit—alongside grassy, herbal hop flavors that extend the flavor profile without heaviness. The finish turns notably dry, with lingering hop bitterness and a crisp, mineral quality.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

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.

About Czech Pilsner

What is a Czech 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.
