Schlappeseppel Pils
Golden-pale and slim, Schlappeseppel Pils puts the weight on hop and bitterness rather than malt. Herbal to lemony hop aromas come together on the palate and in the nose. 5.1% ABV from 11.3% original gravity. The style has a dramatic start: in 1842 the citizens of Pilsen were so unhappy with their beer that they smashed the barrels on the market square.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Schlappeseppel Pils
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.
