Baumgartner Pils

Tap to rate

Pils at 4.8% in bright, glowing gold under a very stable head: noble hop bitterness, fresh and lively. The nose is slightly grassy, fresh and spritzy, noble hoppy, leading into a multifaceted hop aroma and a pronounced bitter note. Very slim and dry in body, refreshing and sparkling in the mouth, it finishes dry and harmonious: the bitterness does not cling, but the hop aromas linger long.

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.
