◌ Aroma

Floral hop character dominates the nose, with elegant noble-hop notes that evoke chamomile and dried herbs. Subtle malt undertones provide a clean, grainy foundation without overshadowing the aromatic complexity. The bouquet is refined and inviting, free from aggressive alcohol or yeast notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a brisk, crisp attack that immediately showcases the signature bitterness of the Perle and Taurus hops. Mid-palate reveals a lean, well-balanced body with refined hop bitterness and a herbaceous quality that builds steadily. The malt provides restraint and structure without sweetness, allowing the noble Spalter Select aroma hops to express their character fully.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and herb-forward, with persistent bitterness that tapers gradually into a clean, refreshing aftertaste. A light, grassy hop note lingers pleasantly without becoming astringent or overly aggressive.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

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.
