Camden Italian Pilsner
An unfiltered pilsner modelled on the Italian reading of the German original, which means more hop character than usual. Magnum and Spalt Select supply spicy hop notes, and a dry-hop addition of the noble variety Saphir adds a herbal lift. Pilsner malt, wheat and Carapils with a Bavarian lager yeast keep the profile clean; at 5.1% it is half a percent stronger than Hells. It started in the small-batch series Arch 55, is sold in 440 ml cans and is poured on draught at the brewery's beer hall.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Camden Italian Pilsner
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
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.
