Fur Pilsner

Tap to rate

A traditional bottom-fermented pilsner in a beautiful straw-yellow, with a hop-fresh, light taste and a harmonious overall impression. Brewed from water, barley malt, hops and yeast by a brewery that opened in 2004 in an old moler clay factory on the island of Fur, as one of Denmark's first microbreweries.

◎ Appearance

A brilliant straw-yellow brew with fine clarity and excellent transparency. The head rises with purpose and settles into a thin, persistent ring that clings to the glass with each sip. Carbonation is evident and lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with classic noble hop character—herbal, slightly floral notes with a whisper of spice. Beneath lies a clean, understated Malz foundation with biscuit undertones. No yeast-derived esters or phenolics intrude; the overall impression is crisp and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and refreshing, with hop bitterness establishing itself immediately without aggression. The mid-palate balances lean Malz sweetness against persistent herbal and slightly mineral hop notes. Bitterness builds steadily toward the back, finishing with a dry, mouth-cleansing edge that lingers.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short to medium, clean and intensely dry. Hop character persists briefly, fading into a subtle mineral note that leaves the palate ready for another sip.

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.

What is a German Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
