Ganter Pilsner
Freiburg's oldest brewery pitches its Pilsner as "eine feinherbe Sache" — bottom-fermented on Schwarzwaldwasser, 11.8°P wort, delicate entry, firm hop bitterness, dry finish. DLG-awarded, unmistakably Badisch rather than Nordic: less crackling minerality, more restrained hop character than the northern German pils benchmarks.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ganter 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.

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.
