Hochfürst Pilsener
Pale yellow and aromatically hopped, Hochfürst Pilsener shows floral hop aromas and a fine-bitter finish. It is brewed at 11.6° original gravity for 5.0% ABV. The name nods to the prince-bishops: the Fürstenbau of the Hacklberg brewery in Passau was built in 1692 as their summer seat. The Bräustüberl has been documented since 1912.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hochfürst Pilsener
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.
