Lord Pils

Tap to rate

Grassy on the nose with a clear bittering-hop aroma, a flicker of citrus freshness and faint malty undertones. It opens lively, runs slim in body and stays moderately bitter, with a touch of malt sweetness mid-sip before a dry, bitter finish. Top hat and tails, the insignia of the Bellheimer Lord, stand for the brewing tradition behind it, brewed with Palatinate summer barley and aroma hops.

◐ Taste

The palate opens lean and crisp, moving swiftly across the tongue with restrained body and alert carbonation. Mid-sip reveals a gentle malt sweetness that balances the moderate hop bitterness, creating a subtle interplay rather than sharp contrast. The finish turns dry and increasingly bitter, with lingering noble-hop resins that fade cleanly without astringency.

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.
