Flensburger Pilsener

◎ Aussehen

Flensburger Pilsener presents itself in a pale gold hue, bright and transparent with excellent clarity. A dense white head forms upon pouring and maintains fine, persistent lacing throughout the glass. The carbonation is visible and lively, befitting a classic German pilsner.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with herbal and lightly citric notes from noble hops, layered beneath fresh bread and grain impressions from the Schleswig-Holstein barley. A subtle lemony character emerges on closer inspection, clean and inviting without any yeast-derived esters or adjunct influences.

◐ Geschmack

Bitterness asserts itself from the first sip and builds steadily across the palate, anchored by a lean, grainy malt body with pronounced bread crust notes. The herbal and lightly lemony hop bitterness drives the mid-palate, while the 38 IBU positions this firmly at the bitter end of the German pilsner spectrum. The malt remains restrained, allowing hops to lead throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and tart, with lingering bitterness and a crisp, clean exit. The aftertaste remains hoppy and herbal, fading to a dry mineral note reminiscent of the glacial spring water used in brewing.

Gut gekühlt bei 4–6°C für maximale Frische servieren. Ein zu warm serviertes Pilsner verliert seinen charakteristischen Biss.

Das hohe, schmale Pilsnerglas erhält die Kohlensäure und zeigt die goldene Klarheit, die den Stil ausmacht.
