Sternquell 70er
The 70er, also sold as Siebziger, is a long-standing Sternquell lager in the Pilsner style. It is brewed at a low original gravity of 9.8 degrees Plato yet reaches 4.9 percent alcohol, because the wort is fermented almost completely and very little residual sugar remains. The result is a pale, light-bodied beer with a dry, crisp profile. Grainy malt and a hint of cracker sit beneath a fine, herbal bitterness that lingers briefly in the clean finish.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sternquell 70er
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.
