Meckatzer Löwen-Pils
A classic bottom-fermented Pils and, at 32 units, the most bitter beer in the range. It is bright and clear with a firm white head and fine, steady carbonation. The aroma shows pine and citrus; on the palate it is light and straight, with a restrained grainy-fruity malt note and a fine, dry bitterness. Tettnang aroma hops provide the soft hop character. The body is slim, the first sip dry. Original gravity 11.5 °P.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Meckatzer Löwen-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.
