Zenne Pils
A bottom-fermented pils, unfiltered and unpasteurised, brewed by traditional decoction, which lends its malty character extra depth and complexity. Slightly hazy and finely bitter, it is generously hopped with old noble German hop varieties and very drinkable at 4.9 % ABV. The brewery takes its name from the river Senne, from which Brussels was born over a thousand years ago.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Zenne 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.
