Killer Pils
A German-style keller pilsner with an unusual red colour, released for Halloween. Barley and wheat make up the grist. It pours a distinctive red with a clean, bright look. Soft floral and herbal hop aromas come first, with a subtle spicy edge behind them. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with gentle malt depth, a crisp pilsner character and a balanced bitterness that carries the floral and herbal notes through to the finish. It is a seasonal autumn release.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Killer Pils
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.
