Potsdamer Rex Pils
The Rex Pils refers on its label to Frederick the Great and to the royal brewery in Potsdam founded in 1716, whose tradition the brand claims. It is now brewed in Berlin as a bottom-fermented pilsner at 4.8 percent with an original gravity of 11.2 percent, from barley malt and hop extract. It pours pale golden with a mostly fine-bubbled head. The nose is restrained and malty. A pleasantly malty, slightly creamy entry turns spicy and herbal on the palate, and the beer ends with a lightly bitter, fine-textured finish.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Potsdamer Rex Pils
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
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.
