🌍 Germany · Pale Lager · One of 181 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

UrBadisch Pilsener is Eschenbräu's nod to the south-west of Germany, a seasonal brewed since about 2019 and tapped in October 2023, September 2025 and September 2026. The brewery describes an aromatic, easy-drinking south German Pils hopped with varieties from Tettnang and Alsace, added three times in the kettle, the whirlpool and the lagering tank. The result is mild and aromatic rather than bitter, a malt-forward beer with a gently sweet profile, as the brewery says southerners prefer it. Brewed from 12.5 °P original gravity to 5.2 % ABV.

◌ Aroma

The nose displays a restrained, floral-herbal character from Tettnang and Alsatian noble hops, with subtle white flowers and gentle spice notes. Beneath this sits a soft, grainy malt foundation with a whisper of honey sweetness, creating an approachable and malty-forward aromatic profile rather than a hop-dominated one.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a gentle malt sweetness and smooth grain presence, followed by a restrained, clean hop bitterness that never dominates the profile. The body is medium and well-balanced, with a mild, slightly sweet finish that reflects the brewery's Southern German preference for malt-forward expression over aggressive bitterness.
