Stuttgarter Hofbräu Pilsner
The brewery's everyday pilsner pours a bright golden yellow and is brewed from water, barley malt and hops with an original gravity of 11.5 °P. The nose shows freshly cut grass, lemon zest and grain, carried by spicy, herbal hop notes from Tettnang and Hallertau varieties. On the palate a bready malt base sits under a clearly structured bitterness with a hint of pink grapefruit, and the finish stays dry and brisk.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Stuttgarter Hofbräu 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.
