Pilsener
Feinherb is the word Hohenfelder uses for its Pilsener – gently bitter and easy to place. It's brewed under the Reinheitsgebot from water, barley malt and hops, and it is not pasteurised, just brewed gently and matured. The Schütze family has run the brewery in Langenberg, Westphalia, since 1911. Served at 6–8 °C, in 0.33 or 0.5 l bottles and on draught.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Pilsener
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.
