Landgang Pils

Tap to rate

Hamburg's craft brewery doing the un-craft move: a straightforward Pils rather than another IPA. Pale gold with grassy-floral hop aromatics over a lean, slightly grainy Pilsner-malt body. Low carbonation, and the northern-German hop bitterness lands delayed and gentle in the finish rather than snapping shut.

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.

What is a German Pilsner?
