Pils

Tap to rate

Schleppe Pils is a bottom-fermented, pale full beer with a hop-forward taste. It is hopped more strongly than the brewery's Märzen and carries a fine bitter note. It comes from the Klagenfurt brewery, which has focused on draught beer specialities since a new brewhouse was built there in 1993.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pils

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, sparkling carbonation. A generous white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. The beer presents a crisp, inviting visual character typical of the German Pilsner style.

◌ Aroma

Noble hop character dominates the nose, with floral and herbal notes in the foreground. Subtle grain-derived sweetness and a faint mineral undertone support the hop profile without overwhelming it. Clean fermentation character allows the Edelhopfen signature to remain the focal point.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, refreshing malt foundation that quickly yields to a pronounced and well-integrated bitterness. The hop-forward character builds through the mid-palate with a dry, clean finish that lingers pleasantly without harshness. Light body and fine carbonation enhance the overall drinkability and refresh the palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with a sustained bitter note that reflects the brewing philosophy of this Klagenfurt speciality. Residual hop character persists gracefully without becoming astringent or fatiguing.

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.

About German Pilsner

What is a German Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
