Radeberger Pilsner
Radeberger Pilsner is the beer the Saxon brewery has made since 1872, and it is still brewed at a single site. Soft, low-mineral brewing water, an original gravity of 11.65 percent and the German hop varieties Perle, Herkules, Hallertauer Magnum and Taurus shape it, followed by a long maturation. It pours clear and pale gold under a fine white head. The nose shows light malt and fresh hops; the palate is dry, with straw, cut grass and a touch of hay, and the finish stays firm and lingeringly bitter.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Radeberger 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.
