Porterhouse Pilsner
A classic pilsner in the central European mould, fully lagered and with a sharp edge. Hallertau Hersbrucker hops take the lead, soft in character, against a rich, deep malt body whose sweetness keeps the bitterness in balance. It pours golden and comes across as a mature, flavourful lager meant to be served cold.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Porterhouse 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.

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.
