What is a German Pilsner?
Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.

Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Störtebeker Pilsener-Bier
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.

This Pilsner displays a brilliant pale golden hue with excellent clarity that speaks to traditional German brewing standards. The beer produces a crisp white head with fine bubbles that demonstrate proper carbonation and promising head retention.
◌ Aroma
The nose presents classic Pilsner character with restrained floral hop notes and subtle herbal undertones from the proprietary special malts. A clean, grainy malt foundation emerges without any yeast esters or adjunct aromas, typical of this handcrafted Stralsund style.
◐ Taste
On the palate, crisp grain and bread-like malt flavors dominate the entry, providing a satisfying malty backbone. The mid-palate remains clean and refreshing with moderate bittering from noble hops at 28 IBU, balancing the subtle sweetness without overwhelming spice or grassy notes.

The finish is notably dry and clean, with the bitterness resolving quickly to leave a pleasant, lingering grain and breadiness. This characteristic dry finish exemplifies traditional Pilsner craftsmanship and enhances overall drinkability.
