🌍 Germany · German Pilsner · One of 282 German Pilsners in hopIQ

First brewed for Berlin's 750th anniversary in 1987 and kept on because it sold, the Jubiläums Pilsener, known locally as Jubi, is now the lead beer of the Berliner Kindl range. It is a bottom-fermented, fully matured pilsner at 5.1 percent, built on barley malt with a fine hop aroma. It pours clear golden with a firm white head. The nose is spicy and grassy, the palate opens with a light bready malt sweetness and a hint of grain, and it closes dry with a moderate, lingering herbal bitterness.
