What is a German Pilsner?
Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.

Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Nissos 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.
