◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced noble-hop character from the Saazer and Hallertauer varieties, offering a refined floral and herbal dimension. Beneath this sits a clean, understated malt base derived from the organic Bestmalz pilsner malt—biscuity and slightly bread-like without dominating. The overall profile is fresh and mineral-driven, with no yeast character or adjunct notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with the malt providing a soft, biscuity foundation that balances well against the hop presence. Mid-palate reveals a marked bitterness—25 IBUs expressed with precision—alongside the noble-hop character, creating a dry, hoppy frame without harshness. The malt remains restrained, allowing the interplay of bitter and herbal notes to shine through.

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.
