🌍 Belgium · German Pilsner · One of 292 German Pilsners in hopIQ

Rédor Pils goes back to 1945, when Sylva Rosier answered the post-war demand for clear, thirst-quenching lagers. It remains the only bottom-fermented beer of the house, an all-malt pils without unmalted grain, brewed from well water, two-row spring barley and noble hops, filtered but not pasteurised. The name plays on 'dorée', which a competitor already used. Grain and malt lead the aroma, with hoppy notes and a frank, fresh bitterness on a smooth body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced grain and malt character, offering a clean, biscuity foundation. Noble hops contribute a subtle herbal and slightly floral complexity without dominating the profile. Fresh and inviting, the aroma reflects the beer's all-malt composition and restrained noble hop selection.

Entry is smooth and well-balanced, with malt sweetness providing body before a frank, clean bitterness emerges mid-palate.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Rédor 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.
