Flying Couch Pilsner
German-inspired pilsner with Magnum, Perle and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh: clean malt with a hint of bready sweetness and a gentle, moderate bitterness that rounds things off without taking over. Golden, crisp and refreshing. In 2018 its owners said they had the freedom to spend seven weeks on a pilsner if that made it better.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Flying Couch Pilsner
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.
