Original – Böhmisches Pils

Tap to rate

The first pilsner the brewer ever made, and for him the real "Original Gablitzer Bier"; he suspects the beer of the former Gablitz brewery may have been of a similar type. Celeja aroma hops give it a pleasant, typical hop bitterness. He reckons the influence of Bohemian pils was large around Vienna, and in summer this has become a favourite with the brewery's customers.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and direct, with immediate hop bitterness from the Celeja variety balanced by a light malt foundation. The mid-palate develops a pleasant, moderately bitter character that remains refreshing rather than harsh. Finish is dry and crisp, leaving the palate clean and ready for the next 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.
