Eight Degrees Pilsner Premium Irish Lager

Eight Degrees Brewing
Ireland·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

This pilsner lager joined the range in 2025. It is brewed with Irish pale ale and lager malts and hopped only with Saaz. It pours golden straw with a brilliant shine and a white head. The aroma is fresh, floral and grassy, like a summer meadow. A gentle malt sweetness reminiscent of digestive biscuit sits under a clean, delicate palate, with noble hop bitterness and a touch of peppery spice. Light in body, it finishes snappy and clean.
