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

Binding Römer Pils takes its name from the Römer, the historic town hall of Frankfurt, and is the brand's main beer. It is a bottom-fermented pilsner brewed from barley malt with whole hops and hop extract at 11.3 °P original gravity, and it pours a pale gold under a dense white head. The nose is restrained, with grain, straw and a light grassy hop note. On the palate a soft malt sweetness gives way to an earthy, herbal bitterness that builds steadily towards a dry, clean finish.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Binding Römer Pils

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

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

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.
