Feldschlößchen Pilsner

Tap to rate

Feldschlößchen Pilsner is the main beer of the Dresden brewery and has been brewed at the Coschütz site since the early 1990s, from barley malt, hops and water at 11.2 °P original gravity. It stands brilliantly clear and golden in the glass. The first sip brings a light, bready malt sweetness, followed by a spicy, herbal hop note that stays gentle rather than sharp. The finish is fresh and moderately dry, with a short grassy echo.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

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.
