Berliner Berg Pils

Tap to rate

Berliner Berg's Pils first went on draught in Berlin in 2019, and the brewery calls it a real German Pilsner at 5.0% and 29 IBU. German noble hops added in the whirlpool bring herbal and fruity notes to a balanced, fresh profile. It pours pale gold and clear under a steady white head. Grass, herbs, lemon and a light floral touch meet pale malt, fresh dough and white bread; the body is slim and lively, and a clean hop bitterness carries into a long, spicy finish.

◐ Taste

Entry brings a clean, crisp malt foundation of pale malt and white bread character. The mid-palate develops the hop complexity evident on the nose—grass and subtle lemon—while a measured bitterness (29 IBU) emerges as a dry, spicy note rather than aggressive punch. The body remains slim and lively, allowing the interplay between malt sweetness and hop bite to remain in focus.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and dry, with the spicy hop character persisting into a lingering aftertaste. No residual sweetness distracts; instead, a fresh, herbaceous dryness carries through.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Berliner Berg Pils

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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.
