🌍 Denmark · German Pilsner · One of 206 German Pilsners in hopIQ

A German Pilsner that returns to the classical pilsner flavour—clean, crisp, and faithful to what the style tasted like in its early days. What makes it distinctive is that it remains unfiltered and unpasteurized, so more flavour persists in the glass. The result reads like a fresh Czech pilsner: dry and straightforward, with a light body and modest bitterness (18 IBU) that never overwhelms. At 4.6% alcohol, it's accessible without being thin. The carbonation is lively, the finish short and clean. A beer for the moment when you want a pilsner that tastes like pilsner, without modern embellishment.

How to get the most out of Godt Øl - Økologisk Pilsner

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
