Aosta

Tap to rate

An Italian-style Pilsner: German pilsner malt underpinning a generous dry-hop of continental noble varieties. The result drinks bone-dry but explodes with floral, herbal and subtly citric aromatics on the nose. Delicate, aromatic and utterly moreish — Northern Italy's gift to modern lager brewing.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and light, with a delicate bready maltiness providing a soft foundation. The mid-palate carries the floral and herbal hop character through with dry precision, supported by mineral notes that add grip without harshness. Bitterness (35 IBU) sits in the background, refined and supporting rather than dominating.

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 Italian Pilsner

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Italian 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.
