Zwettler Saphir
Floral and grassy notes that recall mountain meadows, a complex hop aroma and fruity notes: Zwettl's Premium Pils is fresh, with lively carbonation and slim in body, its noble bitterness leading to a dry finish. A north-German-style pilsner, bottom-fermented, 5.3% ABV, 12.3° original gravity and 40 IBU. Brewed with water from the brewery's own springs; pale straw colour, fine-pored head.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Zwettler Saphir
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.
