Einbecker Pilsener
Sunny yellow and elegantly spritzy, this Pilsener smells of barley fields and tastes of grain from pale malt, with the bitterness typical of a Pils. It is brewed from barley malt, hops and brewing water to 4.8% ABV and 11.2 °P. In 1521 Martin Luther was handed a jug of Einbecker at the Reichstag in Worms and called it the drink anyone knows.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Einbecker Pilsener
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.
