Tropical Premium

Tap to rate

The export-strength version of Gran Canaria's flagship lager. Slightly fuller body and denser taste than the standard Tropical — a step up for those who want more character with the same island refreshment.

Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. A dense white head forms on the pour and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving clean lacing as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

Clean and straightforward on the nose, with gentle noble hop character and light grain notes. A touch of mineral character emerges beneath the malt foundation, with a subtle herbal quality that adds subtle complexity without overriding the beer's crisp profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing with a smooth malt backbone that carries more body than the standard version. Bitterness is balanced and restrained at 38 IBU, allowing subtle bready and mineral notes to develop through the mid-palate before finishing dry and clean.

The finish is short to medium, dry, and leaves the palate clean and ready for another sip. No lingering sweetness or harshness; the aftertaste is neutral and pleasant.

Serve at 4–7°C

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

Pilsner glass

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.

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.
