Bio Pils
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
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.
