Ketterer Edel-Pils

◎ Appearance

Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and a fine white head that establishes persistent lacing down the glass. The carbonation is lively and even, creating a steady stream of small bubbles that underscores the beer's crisp character. Light transmission through the body reveals an inviting, luminous quality typical of well-executed pilsner brewing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with noble-hop character—floral and herbaceous notes from the cold addition create a refined, slightly grassy top layer. Beneath lies a subtle malt base with biscuit undertones that grounds the composition without demanding attention. The five-hop varietals work in concert to deliver a sophisticated, layered bouquet rather than a singular aromatic statement.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with immediate hop bitterness that registers clearly but not aggressively at 28 IBU. Mid-palate reveals a delicate malt sweetness that provides ballast and prevents the beer from becoming one-dimensional, while the hoppy character persists without harshness. The finish is dry and hoppy, with the cold-hopping technique lending a fresh, almost peppery edge that lingers pleasantly.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is crisp and lingering, dominated by noble-hop bitterness and a subtle herbal dryness. The carbonation maintains freshness through to the end, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.
