Tap to rate

Straw-yellow under a fine white head, the Reininghaus Jahrgangspils shows clear, classic hop aromas that blend in harmoniously, joined on the palate by delicate malt notes. The body is slim, the hop note refreshing, the finish dry. The hops come exclusively from Leutschach in southern Styria, in the current vintage the variety Celeja, whose aroma the brewery calls pure and true to type. Each vintage bears the master brewer's signature.

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.
