🌍 Germany · German Pilsner · One of 183 German Pilsners in hopIQ

Schönramer's Grünhopfen Pils is seasonal lightning in a bottle — brewed once a year at harvest with fresh green hops from the surrounding Hallertau. That wet-hop character brings a grassy, herbal vibrancy you won't find in standard Pilsners, with a fresher, almost pine-like bite beneath the traditional dry structure. Hunt this down in autumn.

Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant fresh-hop character — grassy and herbal notes dominate, backed by a distinctive pine-like sharpness that sets this seasonal brew apart from standard Pilsners. Subtle citrus undertones emerge with air, while a clean, mineral undertone grounds the composition without any oxidative notes.

Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with the wet-hop herbalism asserting itself immediately across the mid-palate. The noble-hop bitterness builds steadily without harshness, complemented by restrained malt sweetness and a mineral spine. Noble hops provide structure and traditional Pilsner dignity to what could otherwise feel one-dimensional.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Schönramer Grünhopfen Pils

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

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.
