Newbarns Pilsner
Bitterness balanced by bready malt marks this German-style Pilsner, the core-range lager of Newbarns and a beer to celebrate the end of the working day. It is made with 100% low colour Golden Promise malt, fermented with a lager yeast strain from Germany and hopped with Callista hops, also from Germany. 4.2% ABV and vegan friendly.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Newbarns Pilsner
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.
