Herrenhäuser Premium Pilsener

Privatbrauerei Herrenhausen
Germany·German Pilsner
Tap to rate

Hannover's Herri Pils is the quiet pilsner you return to: pale gold, 4.9%, 24 IBU. Feinherb—that Franconian dry-bitter balance—comes through cleanly, with grain sweetness balanced by soft quellwater and gentle Hallertau spice. Not an event. Just reliable, session-after-session rightness.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing with a light malt foundation of bread and grain sweetness. The mid-palate develops smooth, measured bitterness from quality hops, maintaining a dry character throughout without becoming harsh or astringent.

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.
