pils- turmherren

Although Pils is named after the Czech city of Pilsen and was first brewed there, it is nevertheless a German invention. Before the first official Pilsner, a warm-fermented beer with a dark, naturally cloudy color was served in Pilsen. However, this brew was so undrinkable that there were all sorts of protests, sometimes public ones. A Bavarian master brewer was called in to help: Joseph Groll from Vilshofen brought with him a bottom-fermented recipe and light, gently dried malt and brewed the first Pils in 1842. He had already brewed his beer, called Urquell, but thanks to the particularly soft and mild water in Bohemia and the local Saaz hops, it had a completely different taste. His beer style has been maintained to this day and is still extremely popular.

The Kaiser Bräu from Neuhaus brews classics of the art of brewing under the umbrella of the Turmherren series and of course also has a pilsner on offer. Its Turmherren Pils is a down-to-earth representative of its style and flows into the glass in crystal-clear gold. A towering head of foam sits on top of the brew and smells delicately of citrus fruit and grassy hops. The sparkling first sip brings a fresh composition of lemon peel, grapefruit, freshly mown grass and green hops to the tongue. The play of aromas is completed by a strong, long-lasting bitterness.
