German Pilsner

German Pilsner is a crisp, pale lager with a prominent hop bitterness and floral, herbal, or spicy hop character from noble hops like Saaz, Hallertau, Tettnanger, and Spalt. Developed in the mid-19th century as Germany's answer to Czech Pilsner, it features a distinctly drier and more bitter profile with a clean fermentation character, medium-light body, and excellent head retention, traditionally brewed with German pilsner malt and soft water.
