Sternquell Pilsner
The Pilsner is Sternquell's leading beer, a bottom-fermented lager brewed at 11.4 degrees Plato from regional water, local barley malt and fine aroma hops. It pours bright gold under a dense, creamy head. The nose is distinctly hoppy, with herbal, floral and lightly spicy notes over a bready malt base. On the palate a clean, cracker-like malt gives way to a firm, classic bitterness, and lively carbonation keeps the finish dry and crisp.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sternquell 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.
