Roman Pils

Tap to rate

Roman Pils has been brewed in Mater since 1945, first sold as Romy Pils and renamed when the brewery grouped its lagers and wheat beer into the Roman Range. It is built as an easy, refreshing lager rather than a sharply bitter one. Clear fruit sits over clean malt and a light hop note in the nose. The palate opens soft and malty, a gentle hop bitterness follows, and the finish stays fresh with a slightly bitter edge.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and malty, allowing the delicate grain character to settle first on the tongue. A gentle, measured bitterness emerges in the mid-palate, balancing the malt sweetness without aggression. The body remains light and clean throughout, supporting the dry, refreshing finish.

What is a Pale Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.

Finding a similar Pale Lager

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same refreshing, malty, clean character as Roman Pils will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
