◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty, with the local barley providing a lightly sweet foundation. The mid-palate develops a crisp, refreshing character balanced by moderate noble hop bitterness. The finish dries cleanly with lingering malt sweetness and a restrained, even bitter edge.

Medium-short finish with a dry, slightly bitter aftertaste. The noble hop character persists gently without dominating, allowing the grainy Malz notes to fade pleasantly.

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.
