Real Ale's New-World Pilsner — 4.5% ABV, 28 IBU, softer and more citrus-hop-forward than Hans' Pils, session-friendly. The modern American Pilsner slot: Pilsner-clean base, American-hop aromatic lift, restrained bitterness. Pairs with Hans' Pils in the brewery's two-Pilsner axis — one traditional-German, one New-World.

About New World Pilsner

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a New World Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.

Finding a similar New World Pilsner

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same clean, crisp, refreshing character as Real Ale Proto Pils will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Real Ale Proto Pils

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.
