Hochdorfer Hopfengärtle
Hochdorf's Hopfengärtle is brewed once a year from the brewery's own hop garden, and it reads like a hop farmer's love letter. Intensely aromatic — floral, piney, citrusy — with a bone-dry finish and crisp carbonation that sharpens every note. Limited, seasonal, worth planning your year around.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hochdorfer Hopfengärtle
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.
