Pilsner
Lemon and floral aromas open this Pilsner, followed by a firm yet soft bitterness that lingers just long enough to invite the next sip. Pilsner malt alone gives it a honey-kissed white bread character, quietly sweet, while HBC 682, Perle, Hersbrucker and Saphir hops carry lemon zest and floral lift into a firm finish. It debuted in August 2026 as a year-round beer at 5.5% ABV and 40 IBU.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 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.
