Union Keller Pils
Lean and finely bitter: this pale-yellow, bottom-fermented cellar pils pours naturally cloudy and stays unfiltered. Pilsner malt and Carapils meet Herkules, Tradition and Tettnanger hops at 11.5 °Plato, 33 IBU and 4.9 % ABV. A craft distiller turns this very beer into a barrel-aged beer brandy.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Union Keller 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.
