Schwarzbräu Stolz der Bayern

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow, bright and transparent with excellent clarity. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass in a fine, persistent lace, characteristic of a well-conditioned pilsner. Carbonation is lively and steady, creating a continuous stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with herbal, floral notes from noble hops—Hallertauer or Tettnanger character—crisp and grassy without excess vegetal notes. Beneath the hop profile sits a clean, barely perceptible malt sweetness. The fermentation is absolutely neutral, allowing the hop and malt to speak without yeast esters or phenols.

◐ Geschmack

Bone-dry and mineral-forward on entry, the palate shows a lean, understated bready malt backbone that sits well beneath pronounced hop bitterness. The 38 IBU arrives decisively but does not linger aggressively; instead it fades into a crisp, thirst-quenching dryness. The body is light yet structured, never thin.

◑ Abgang

The bitterness ebbs cleanly without harsh residue, leaving behind a crisp, mineral dryness that invites the next sip. Aftertaste is short and refreshing, true to the Pilsner tradition.

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.
