Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Waldhaus Extra Herb Naturtrüb

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with pronounced cloudiness from the natural yeast suspension, characteristic of an unfiltered Pils. The head is compact and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine, lacy retention. Bright carbonation rises steadily through the cloudy matrix, lending a full and lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive noble-hop character—floral and herbal notes from Tettnang, Spalt and Hallertau dominate the profile. A clean, grassy herbaceousness sits atop light grain undertones from the regional barley malt. The yeast contributes subtle spice and fermentation cleanliness without any phenolic or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with crisp, herbal bitterness that builds steadily across the mid-palate, anchored by the 38 IBU but expressed with elegance rather than harshness. Light malt sweetness provides structural balance, while the unfiltered yeast adds textural fullness and soft grain complexity. The finish drives toward dry, lingering hop bitterness with a refreshing snap.

The aftertaste extends with a sustained herbal and slightly bitter dryness, characteristic of its Extra Herb designation. The refreshing quality persists without any cloying sweetness or harsh astringency.

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.
