Sternquell Bürgerbräu Pilsner
Bürgerbräu Pilsner was introduced in 2015 as an unfiltered, naturally hazy pilsner, which the brewery describes as hop-aromatic in contrast to the milder Bürgerbräu Vollbier. It pours pale straw with a pronounced yeast haze. The nose brings grainy malt and yeast with a light floral hop edge. The palate opens mild and lively, slightly sweet, with a fuller texture from the suspended yeast, and closes on a firm, clean hop bitterness.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sternquell Bürgerbräu Pilsner
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.
