Pyraser Leichtes

Tap to rate

A light, Pils-style lager that the brewery sells on the promise of full Pilsner flavour at 3.7 % alcohol. Bottom-fermented and bottled unfiltered, brewed to 9.2 °P, it is golden and naturally cloudy with a fine, glossy head. The taste is hop-led and dry-bitter, with Select and Saphir hops bringing a herbal, lightly floral note over a slim base of Pilsner and Munich malt. Soft on the palate despite the bitterness. Best served well chilled.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pyraser Leichtes

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with natural cloudiness throughout, held together by a fine, glossy head that clings persistently to the glass. The unfiltered character gives the beer a soft, approachable visual presence without harshness. Carbonation is evident in a steady stream of small bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with herbal and lightly floral notes from Select and Saphir noble hops, clean and restrained rather than assertive. Beneath this sits a subtle malt backbone from Pilsner and Munich varieties, offering a whisper of grain sweetness. The overall impression is crisp and dry, with no yeast-derived esters or phenols muddying the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and elegant, with hop bitterness establishing itself cleanly across the palate without aggression. The mid-palate remains slim and dry, allowing the herbal Select and Saphir notes to shine without overwhelming a delicate malt foundation. Despite the hop-forward design, the beer feels soft and approachable on the tongue, balancing bitterness with restraint.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and lingering, with hop bitterness fading to a dry, herbaceous aftertaste that persists gently. No cloying sweetness or harsh tannin intrudes; the beer closes as it began—measured and refined.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Pyraser Leichtes

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

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.
