Maximus Pils
A pilsner brewed after a German model: malty and hoppy, with a bitter finish. It belongs to the core line that Maximus describes as traditional beers with their own Maximus twist, brewed in Utrecht's De Meern district by a brewery that stands for pure, easy-drinking beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Maximus Pils
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.
