Raschhofer Pils

Tap to rate

Brilliantly clear, pale gold, and in the nose elegant and finely aromatic, like a flower meadow with delicate herbs. The first sip is highly refreshing with very fine bubbles, gentle yet lively. The very long finish closes on a fine bitter chord that comes from Tettnang aroma hops, added only after the brewing process.

Serve at 4–7°C

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

Pilsner glass

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.
