Flötzinger Pils

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue dominates the glass, reflecting the classic Pilsner profile characteristic of Alpine brewing traditions. A firm white head rises above the beer, displaying good initial retention and forming fine lacing patterns down the glass as it settles. The beer presents itself with crystalline clarity, a visual mark of clean fermentation and proper conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean grain malt notes, a gentle foundation that allows the Tettnang aroma hops to take center stage. Floral and herbal characteristics emerge, accompanied by subtle spice that speaks to the varietal's Alpine origin. The overall impression is fresh and refined, with no harsh or sulphury edges.

◐ Taste

The palate begins with mild malt sweetness that grounds the beer without heaviness, transitioning smoothly into a hop-driven middle that emphasizes the Tettnang's herbal and spicy dimensions. Bitterness develops steadily but remains measured at 29 IBUs, creating a balanced sensation rather than an aggressive bite. The finish turns notably dry, with a clean bitter character that lingers without becoming astringent.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste persists with a dry, bitter profile that invites another sip. Residual hop character and a subtle mineral note—echoing the hard Alpine water used in brewing—remain on the palate.

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.
