Wicküler Pilsener
Wicküler Pilsener is the brand's flagship, brewed since 1887 to the German Purity Law from water, barley malt, hops and hop extract. It pours a clear straw gold under a white, fairly firm head. The nose brings freshly cut grass, a hint of lemon and a sweetish grainy malt base, and the palate follows with a spicy, full pilsner character: crisp grain up front, a herbal bitterness in the middle and a semi-dry finish where it lingers over a faint residual sweetness. Body is light to medium, with lively carbonation.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wicküler Pilsener
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.
