Würzburger Hofbräu Pilsner
Typically feinherb, with a fine bitterness under a fine-pored head and a golden-yellow colour: that is the Pilsner from the court brewery founded in Würzburg in 1643. Brewed under the Bavarian Purity Law with the brewery's own well water, local barley malt and Hallertau aroma hops, and bottom-fermented with the brewery's own pure-culture yeast. 11.5 % original gravity, 4.9 % ABV.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Würzburger Hofbräu Pilsner
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.
