Berliner Kante

Tap to rate

A classically bitter Pils: the nose is floral with meadow herbs and a touch of citrus, the first sip dry with lively but balanced bitterness over a slim malt body. The finish lingers, with floral and herbal echoes. Hallertauer Diamant and Tettnanger bring the hop character, Titan the bitter edge – all on pure Pilsner malt, at 4.9% ABV.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry with a lean, elegant malt body that never feels insubstantial. Bitterness builds steadily and remains balanced throughout, neither sharp nor overwhelming, carried on a slim pilsner malt foundation. The Titan hops provide a composed bitter backbone that integrates seamlessly with the floral and herbal hop profile.

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.
