Nationalpark Pilsener

◎ Appearance

Nationalpark Pilsener presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and brilliant transparency. The white head forms quickly and maintains good retention, settling into fine lacing along the glass. Carbonation is lively and persistent, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, herbal and grassy Hallertau hop character, complemented by delicate floral notes that remain fresh and inviting. Beneath the hops sits a soft, understated malt foundation with light bready undertones. The overall impression is crisp and refreshing, with no oxidative or yeasty qualities—a hallmark of careful brewing with soft mountain water.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and straightforward, with the soft water allowing the hop bitterness to register as pleasant rather than aggressive at 38 IBU. The mid-palate is carried by a light, bready malt body that balances the herbal and slightly mineral hop bite. Bitterness builds gradually and resolves into a dry, crisp sensation without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with the soft mountain water rounding away any rough edges while allowing the hop character to linger briefly. A mineral dryness persists on the palate, inviting another sip.

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.
