Knallhütter

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that clings persistently to the glass. Fine carbonation is evident throughout, creating a lively bead that maintains even Schaumhaftung down the sides of the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with crisp aromatic hop spice and a pronounced herbal character, supported by delicate grassy notes and a subtle lemon-zest brightness. Beneath lies a slim, clean malt base that allows the noble hop profile to dominate without interference.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with balanced bitterness and a lean, dry body that reflects the classic Pilsner approach. Herbal and slightly resinous hop character develops across the mid-palate, complemented by light citrus notes, while the slim malt foundation provides restraint and definition.

◑ Finish

The finish is finely bitter and bone-dry, with lingering herbal hop notes that fade cleanly without astringency. The aftertaste remains crisp and refreshing, inviting the next sip.

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.
