Braustolz Pilsner

◎ Appearance

A fine golden hue dominates the glass, bright and transparent with excellent clarity. The white head forms quickly and clings to the glass wall with good retention, leaving distinct lacing after each sip. Carbonation is lively, evident in the steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a pronounced and fresh hop character, showing herbal and slightly spicy notes typical of noble hops. Beneath the hop emphasis lies a clean, delicate malt foundation that contributes a subtle grain sweetness without dominating. The overall bouquet is dry and crisp, with no estery or yeasty overtones.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and straightforward, with the hop bitterness making itself known immediately. The mid-palate remains light and refreshing, with a balance that leans distinctly toward the bitter and herbal side rather than malt sweetness. Fine grain character provides structure without sweetness, while the bitterness (38 IBU) lingers pleasantly without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, fading with a lingering bitter herbal note that invites the next sip. Aftertaste remains clean with no residual sweetness or cloying quality.
