Hubertus Pils

Tap to rate

Fine hop character from Saaz and Hallertau hops on Austrian barley malt, with a clear bitter note. The brewing water comes from the brewery's own 238-metre well; geological surveys put the age of this extremely soft water at about 20,000 years on average. Hubertus brews its Pils the classic way, with a cold-led main fermentation and a long rest in the lagering cellar.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with classic noble hop character from Saaz and Hallertau—herbal, floral notes with a light spice backdrop. Beneath the hops lies a clean, understated Austrian malt foundation with a hint of grain sweetness, while the conditioning lager yeast remains neutral and restrained.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and clean, driven by the fine Austrian barley malt that provides a lean, slightly biscuited character. The mid-palate develops a pronounced but refined bitter edge from the Saaz and Hallertau hops, neither aggressive nor thin, finishing with a dry, hoppy aftertaste that lingers without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with the bitterness tapering gradually into a subtle hop dryness. No sweetness remains; the aftertaste is purely hoppy and refreshing.

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.
