Egger Edel Pils

Tap to rate

Finely bitter: Tettnang aroma hops give this Pils its character. In Austria Pils counts as a fringe style, unjustly in the brewery's view. Made in Egg with decoction mashing, spring water from the source at the foot of the Winterstaude and no flash pasteurisation, then given plenty of time to mature and lager in returnable glass bottles.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Egger Edel Pils

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, persistent white head forms with strong lacing that clings to the glass throughout the drinking experience. Active carbonation is evident in a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with classic Tettnang noble-hop character—floral, herbal, and gently spicy notes predominate. Beneath the hop profile lies a clean, refined malt base with subtle mineral undertones from the spring water. No yeast or fermentation byproducts intrude; the overall impression is dry, aristocratic, and composed.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and crisp, with a light, elegant malt foundation that supports without dominating. The characteristic Tettnang bitterness builds through the mid-palate with a noble, refined quality—never harsh or aggressive. Mineral notes from the spring water provide a subtle framework, while the decoction-mashed malt delivers a smooth, dry finish that invites the next sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with a lingering, dry bitter impression that remains elegant rather than overpowering. Mineral notes fade gradually, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another draught.

Serve at 4–7°C

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

Pilsner glass

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.

What is a German Pilsner?
