Paulaner Pils
A brilliant, light-yellow pilsner under a pure white, dense head. Hops lead the beer: Hallertauer Tradition and Herkules give a bitter aroma with a floral edge, while pilsner malt keeps to a slim background. The taste is hoppy, crisp and clean, the bitterness clear without scratching, and the finish dries out. Brewed at 11.3 degrees Plato in the classic pilsner manner.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Paulaner Pils
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.
