Wittinger Pilsner
Wittinger Pilsner is the brewery's everyday lager, long tied to the squat stubby bottle it is usually drunk from. Aroma hops from the Hallertau give it a light fruitiness with hints of lemon and citrus peel over grassy, herbal notes. The golden body is soft and gently malty with a touch of grain sweetness, and a moderate, fine-edged bitterness of 24 IBU arrives late, leaving the finish crisp and clean. Hallertauer Tradition supplies the aroma, Herkules the bitterness.
