Mönchshof Pils
Mönchshof Pils is a newer addition to the range and, unlike the milder Original, is described by the brewery as distinctly hop-forward. Brewed to 11.2 degrees Plato for 4.8 percent alcohol, it is noble-hopped and fine-beaded, with a lean, slim body. The aroma is led by the hops, with herbal, grassy and lightly floral notes over a clean base of pale malt and cracker. On the palate a crisp carbonation carries a fresh, herbaceous bitterness that runs dry into the finish, where the malt steps back.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Mönchshof 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.
