Newbarns Pilsner Beer
The core pilsner of the range, a take on the classic German-style Pilsner. It is brewed entirely with low-colour Golden Promise malt, fermented with a lager yeast and hopped with Callista, both of German origin. The result is clean and crisp, with a firm bitterness set against a bready grain character and a light floral, faintly fruity hop note. The finish is dry and refreshing.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Newbarns Pilsner Beer
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.
