Wagner Premium Pils
The brewery's best-selling beer, brewed at 11.8 °P exclusively with aroma hops and a house hopping method. It pours pale yellow and filtered under a fine white head. The nose shows grassy hops over sweetish, bready malt. The body is fairly slim with a grainy note and a faint background sweetness, and the finish turns clearly grassy with a touch of citrus, firm but not harsh in its bitterness.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wagner Premium 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.
