Leith Pils
Leith Pils is a pilsner that the brewery has made since 2019, lagers in the traditional way and sells as a keller pilsner. It pours bright gold with a white head. Bready malt leads the aroma and carries through to the taste, joined by light lemon citrus, herbal hop notes and a hint of spice. The body is light and the overall impression clean and crisp, with a refreshing finish. The recipe has been gluten free since 2022.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Leith Pils
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.
