What is a German Pilsner?

Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Rothaus Tannenzäpfle
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.
