Refsvindinge Pilsner
First brewed in 1986, a classic light, bottom-fermented pilsner. Brygmesterens Egen Pils, first brewed in 2000, is a golden, top-fermented pilsner in the same category. Pilsner takes its name from the Bohemian city of Plzeň, where the first pale lager was produced in 1842. It entered the range nine years before Ale No. 16 was first brewed.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Refsvindinge 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.
