Weltenburger Pils
Weltenburger Pils is a slim, hop-led lager at 4.9 % ABV and 11.7 °P. It shows a bright pale gold colour with a dense, fine head. A light citrus fruit scent sits over the hop aroma, and the taste follows the same line: lean body, pale barley malt in the background and a finely bitter edge from Herkules, Perle and Tradition that carries from the first sip to the finish. The carbonation is lively and gives the beer a crisp, tingling feel.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Weltenburger Pils
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.
