Erzquell Pils
Slender, elegant and dry Pils with a fine hop note, a fresh, lively prickle and a gently bitter finish (zartbitter). Bottom-fermented and brewed with the soft water of the brewery's own spring, it keeps a well-balanced pils character at 4.8 % ABV and 11.3 % original gravity. The pils that carries the brewery's name, from the copper kettles of Bielstein.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Erzquell 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.
