Detmolder Thusnelda-Bier
Spicy, hoppy and floral on the nose, with fine, prickling carbonation that underlines the fresh first sip. Light malt gives the full range of hop aromas a good body. The beer honours Thusnelda, wife of Arminius, 2,000 years after the Battle of Varus, and is brewed like all Detmolder specialities in copper kettles. 4.8 % ABV at 11 °P.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Detmolder Thusnelda-Bier
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.
