King Eddy Pilsner
Named after a mountain rather than a monarch, and hopped generously with noble Saaz. That shows in the nose: spicy, herbal, a little floral, over a lean pilsner malt base with a cracker-like sweetness. At 32 IBU the bitterness is the firmest in the range and carries a dry, faintly peppery finish. Pale gold, briskly carbonated, and fermented clean enough that no fruit esters get in the way.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for King Eddy 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.
