Conquest Pilsner

Tap to rate

Crisp, fresh and light, with a malty sweetness that balances an invigorating flavour. Goldings, Cascade and Summit hops go into this 4.5% pilsner, which Woodforde's calls not your average lager. It belongs to the New World creations, made to bring taste sensations apart from the traditional range, and it is vegan. Conquest is also sold as a 5-litre mini keg.

Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency typical of the style. A fine, persistent white head builds readily and clings to the glass with crisp Schaumhaftung. Gentle carbonation is visible as a continuous stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright herbal and citrus notes from the Cascade and Summit hops, layered over a clean, delicate malt backbone. A subtle sweetness emerges from well-modified Malz, while the overall impression remains fresh and inviting without any yeast-driven character. The aromatic profile is balanced and restrained, allowing both hop and grain to speak clearly.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with a fine malty sweetness that establishes the beer's foundation without heaviness. The mid-palate develops a gentle bitterness from the Edelhopfen addition, supported by clean grain character and a hint of citrus complexity. The finish is dry and snappy, leaving a refreshing, lingering Edelhopfen bite.

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.

About German Pilsner

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a German Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
