Pilsner

Tap to rate

A clean body carries an exquisitely refreshing bitterness from classical, traditional hops. The beer is left unfiltered yet pours clear. This clarity comes from at least nine weeks of cold lagering in horizontal tanks. The brewery calls it Premium Pilsner.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pilsner

◎ Appearance

Pale straw gold with brilliant clarity despite being unfiltered—a testament to nine weeks of cold lagering in horizontal tanks. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and even throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

Classical noble hops emerge first—herbal, floral, and gently spicy with a whisper of black pepper. The malt foundation is subtle and grainy, allowing the hop character to dominate without aggression. Clean fermentation leaves no yeast-derived esters or phenols.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a clean malt backbone of subtle grain sweetness. The mid-palate shows restrained bitterness from traditional varieties—structured and dry rather than sharp. Finish is pleasantly bitter and lingers with a mineral, hoppy dryness.

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.
