🌍 Germany · German Pilsner · One of 279 German Pilsners in hopIQ

The brewery's pilsner, formerly labelled EdelPils and also known under the name Zzzisch. It is hopped only with whole organic hop cones from Franconian hop gardens, with no pellets or extract. The beer is straw yellow and brilliantly clear under a snow-white head. A pronounced hop note with grassy, herbal and lemony touches defines the nose, set against a slim, lightly grainy malt base. The palate is crisp and hop-forward, and the finish brings a fine, clean bitterness that stays mild rather than harsh. Original gravity is 11.5 °Plato.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bio Pils

◎ Appearance

Straw yellow with brilliant clarity and luminous transparency. The snow-white head sits dense and stable, with fine lacing that clings to the glass walls as the beer is consumed. Gentle carbonation rises through the body in a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by a pronounced hop character derived entirely from whole organic Franconian hop cones. Grassy, herbal, and lemony notes meld into the bouquet, framed by a restrained, lightly grainy malt foundation that adds subtle depth without obscuring the hop expression.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and hop-forward, with a clean bitterness that remains elegant and restrained. Mid-palate shows a light, grainy malt sweetness that balances the noble-hop character without becoming cloying. The bitterness persists but never turns harsh, instead fading into a mineral dryness.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Bio 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.
