Silly Pils
Pils at 5% ABV, bottom-fermented and brewed with pale malt and Saaz and Hallertau hops. The malt comes first, followed by subtle hop bitterness that does not linger and never turns tart. By 1950 the brewery, riding an expanding café trade, had launched it as its first bottom-fermented beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Silly 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.
