Tettnanger and Polaris hops meet pilsner malt, and at 11° Plato it lands at 4.8% ABV and 38 IBU.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bambule Pils

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a fine haze from the unfiltered malt and yeast in suspension. The head is compact and persistent, clinging to the glass with delicate lacing that fades gradually. Bright carbonation rises steadily through a translucent body.

pale goldennaturally hazyfine head retention

◌ Aroma

Restrained floral notes from Tettnanger and Polaris hops open the nose, with a subtle noble-hop character that is refined rather than assertive. Beneath lies a clean pilsner malt base, lightly biscuity and free from fermentation esters. The overall impression is of balanced restraint.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and grainy, with pilsner malt providing a light, slightly sweet foundation. A moderate bitterness emerges mid-palate, building steadily from the 38 IBU, and the floral hop character integrates seamlessly with the crisp finish. Body remains lean and refreshing throughout, never heavy.

◑ Finish

The bitterness persists into a dry, clean aftertaste that invites another sip. Linger is moderate, leaving the palate refreshed rather than coated.

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.
