Wolfshöher Pilsner

Tap to rate

Wolfshöher Pilsner is brewed from 11.3 °P original gravity to 4.9 % ABV with aroma hops from the Hallertau and Hersbruck. The brewery describes a pronounced hop bouquet and a fine bitterness. In the glass it is very pale and clear under a generous white head. The nose brings pale malt, grain and a light floral, herbal hop note. On the palate it is slim and dry, with a clear bitterness that sets in early and carries through to a dry, lightly spicy finish.

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.
