Privat-Pils
Floral aromas mingle with a lime scent that recalls fresh hay and green summer meadows. The sparkling, bitter-edged first sip leads into a lingering, velvety-soft bitterness. Straw-yellow under a compact white head, this Pils from Meißen is made from water, barley malt and hops, with 11.5% original gravity and 4.9% ABV, and is recommended at 7–8 °C.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Privat-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.

What is a German Pilsner?
Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
