Tap to rate

Hops from Tettnang on Lake Constance give Zoller Fürsten Pils a fine hop note in both aroma and taste, and that note stays ahead of the slim body from first sip to last. A firm bitterness runs alongside it. A German-style pilsner at 4.9 % ABV, brewed in Sigmaringen with water from the brewery's own well.

◌ Aroma

Tettnang noble hops dominate the nose with a refined, herbal-floral character marked by subtle citrus and green notes. Restrained malt backbone provides a clean, grainy foundation without asserting itself, allowing the hop character to remain in the foreground.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and bright with immediate noble hop presence—herbal, slightly spicy, with a whisper of citrus zest. A firm, clean bitterness develops through the mid-palate and holds steady to the finish, supported by a lean, dry malt structure that never becomes fullbodied.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with bitter hop notes extending cleanly without harshness. The aftertaste remains refreshing and noble throughout.

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.
