Pilsner
Launched in March 2022, Harvey's Pilsner pairs Polish Lubelski hops and European malt with the brewery's local ingredients. Straw-coloured and 4.0%, it smells clean with toast and hop; the palate is crisp and bready with floral, spicy hop character and a distinct bitterness. The beer is a nod to the pilsners of Northern Europe and the Baltic coast, where the brewery's ales have long been sold.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 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.
