Light Cone
Light Cone is a German-style pilsner and the anchor of Grimm's year-round lager range. It is double-decocted and hopped with Hallertau, Tettnang and Saaz. The beer pours pale straw and stays crisp throughout. Noble hops give a floral, spicy and zesty aroma, with wildflower and lemon-pith notes over a cracker-like malt base, and the finish closes with a light peppery bite. The decoction adds a faint bready depth without making the beer heavy.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Light Cone
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.
