Bavarian Pils in the German tradition — dry, bitter, unmistakably Tettnanger. 5.0%, 38 IBU: not a soft Helles with more hops, but a real Pils with the Franconian herbal-noble edge that separates it from a Nordwest-style bitterer variant.

Noble Tettnanger hops dominate the nose with a pronounced herbal and lightly spicy character, underpinned by a subtle floral complexity. The malt base provides a clean, grainy foundation without sweetness, allowing the distinctive Franconian hop signature to remain in the foreground.

Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with a well-integrated bitterness that builds through the mid-palate without harshness. The noble hop character unfolds with herbal and subtle spice notes, while the malt remains restrained and supporting rather than dominant, finishing with a pronounced, clean bitter profile.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Tegernseer Pils

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

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.
