Detmolder Pilsener
Fine herbal, spicy aromas of Hallertau and Tettnang hops rise from the glass, and floral-hoppy notes join on the first sip, while pilsner malt adds a straw-like touch. Long, cold lagering builds a lively, fine-bubbled freshness, and the finish lingers grassy and spicy before drying out. Brewed in copper kettles, with the hops still added by hand.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Detmolder Pilsener
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.
