Göttinger Edles Premium Pils

Göttinger Brauhaus
Germany·German Pilsner
Tap to rate

A bottom-fermented pilsner brewed from water, barley malt and hops only, the flagship of the old Göttingen brewery. It pours a clear, deep golden yellow under a fine white head. The nose is fresh and grassy, with herbal hop notes, a touch of fruit and a clearly present grainy malt. On the palate a restrained malt sweetness stays in the background while the bitterness leads from the first sip, herbal and spicy, with a faintly metallic, mineral edge. Fine carbonation, a soft body and a long, dry, markedly bitter finish.

◐ Taste

Restrained malt sweetness remains in the background as herbal and spicy bitterness takes the lead from the first sip. A subtle, faintly metallic and mineral edge frames the palate, adding complexity. The body is soft and well-balanced, allowing the hop character to articulate without heaviness.

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.
