◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate floral notes characteristic of noble hops, complemented by subtle herbaceous undertones. A light, clean grain character emerges from the regenerative-farmed Pilsner malt, contributing a soft sweetness without heaviness. The overall impression is refined and approachable, with no aggressive hop volatility.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is crisp and refreshing, with a light malty sweetness that provides foundation without fullness. Mid-palate reveals a balanced bitterness from the noble hops—measured at 38 IBU—that builds gradually without dominating. The finish is dry and clean, leaving behind a subtle floral dryness that encourages another sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, fading gracefully with a lingering noble-hop dryness. No astringency or harsh edges remain, only a pleasant, thirst-quenching aftertaste.

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.
