Tap to rate

◌ Aroma

Noble hop character leads the nose, with the Diamant and Perle varieties expressing refined herbal and slightly spicy notes. Beneath runs a clean pilsner malt backbone with subtle sweetness and mineral undertones. The overall impression is crisp and dry, with no yeast-derived esters or phenols—a mark of precise lagering.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and malty, with pilsner malt providing a light grain foundation and gentle sweetness. Mid-palate develops a discreet but distinct bitter character from the noble hops, building steadily without aggression. The finish remains crisp and dry, with a lingering hoppy bitterness that feels integral rather than imposed.

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.
