Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Série Relais Pilsner italienne
◎ Appearance
Pours a bright, pale gold with exceptional clarity and crystalline brilliance. A fine, delicate head forms and recedes quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. Brisk carbonation lifts the beer with visible effervescence throughout.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with fresh bread crust and a faint cereal sweetness from the Malz base. The cold-hop addition of Saphir and Hallertau Tradition rises above, delivering wild-flower notes, bergamot citrus, and a subtle lemon zest. The overall impression is clean and herbal, without aggressive hop intensity.
◐ Taste
Entry is lean and crisp, with a dry bready character and light cereal malt anchoring the palate. Mid-palate develops floral and citrus notes from the cold hopping—bergamot and lemon zest dance across the tongue without overwhelming. Bitterness is restrained and well-integrated, allowing the delicate hop character and malt backbone to remain in balance.
◑ Finish
Finish is crisp and bone-dry, with the lemon-citrus and floral notes fading cleanly into a light cereal dryness. The aftertaste is short and refreshing, leaving no lingering sweetness.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Série Relais Pilsner italienne
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.
