Hasseröder Premium Pils

Tap to rate

The brewery's flagship pours a clear golden yellow under a firm white head. Its own description names a mildly prickling palate, a finely spicy hop aroma and a strong finish. The nose is grainy and lightly spicy; a soft sweetness from the pale barley malt opens the palate before herbal hops take over, and the close turns dry with a bitterness that builds with each sip. Brewed from barley malt, hops and hop extract, it is the beer the brand grew on after 1990.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with soft, delicate sweetness from pale barley malt that quickly gives way to herbaceous hop bitterness. Mid-palate tension builds between the malt's subtle sweetness and crisp hop character, creating a well-integrated balance. The finish turns increasingly dry and bitter with each sip, demonstrating a measured bitterness that doesn't overwhelm but instead cleanses and refreshes.

◑ Finish

The close is decidedly dry with a persistent but harmonious bitterness that lingers without harshness. The aftertaste remains clean and crisp, inviting another sip rather than fatiguing the palate.

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.
