Landskron Premium Pilsner

Tap to rate

Fresh, hoppy citrus and herbal aromas meet resinous hints and a nutty note. The body is slim, the hop bitterness distinct and fine, the finish quick and dry. 4.8 % ABV from an original gravity of 11.6 %, pale straw-yellow under a dense, fine-pored head. Brewed with water, barley malt and hops under the Reinheitsgebot in the Görlitz brewery on the Neisse, which has brewed since 1869 and still ferments openly by hand.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a lean, refreshing body and immediate hop bitterness that is pronounced yet refined—approximately 38 IBU register clearly but never harshly. Herbal and citrus flavors build through the mid-palate, with hints of resin and a subtle nutty note providing subtle textural interest. The finish drives toward complete dryness, leaving behind a lingering but not overpowering hop bite that invites another sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably short and dry, with the bitterness fading quickly into a clean, slightly resinous aftertaste. No sweet malt lingers; the departure is crisp and refreshing, typical of well-executed German Pilsners.

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.
