1367 Pilsner

Tap to rate

Brilliant golden under a coarse, firm head: the malt lends a pleasant sweetness, the hops a refreshing, gentle bitterness. This bottom-fermented pilsner follows the traditional North German school and is brewed with the estate's own barley and German hops. It was created in honour of the region and its history – Krenkerup Estate has been handed down since 1367 – from nothing but water, malt, hops and yeast.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 1367 Pilsner

◎ Appearance

Brilliant golden hue with exceptional clarity and luminous transparency. A coarse, firm head forms atop the beer and clings persistently to the glass as the pour subsides, leaving distinct lacing with each sip. Fine carbonation maintains steady visual effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, grainy Malz notes—gentle and understated rather than assertive. German noble hops contribute a quiet herbal and floral character, complemented by a whisper of mineral-like crispness from the water profile. No yeast-driven esters or phenolics intrude; the aroma remains restrained and traditional.

◐ Taste

Entry is refreshingly crisp, leading into a malty mid-palate where the estate barley imparts subtle sweetness without cloying heaviness. Noble hops provide a refined, gentle bitterness that emerges gradually and recedes without dominating; the interplay between sweet and bitter remains harmonious and well-defined.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering mineral notes and a faint hoppy echo. No rough edges or astringency; the aftertaste fades evenly into neutral dryness.

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.
