Pils is probably the best-known style of beer in German-speaking countries. The bottom-fermented beer goes back to a brewing method that was developed in the Czech city of Pilsen. But the Pils can’t be called that everywhere: in Switzerland, a place-specific name can only be used if the product was actually manufactured in that place. Beer can therefore only be called Pils or Pilsner if it was actually brewed in the Czech Republic. All other brews based on the Pilsner brewing method bear the title Spezialbier. Everything is allowed that doesn’t give the impression that the beer comes from the Czech Republic when it was actually produced somewhere else.
A creation that, at least in Germany, has every right to be called that is the Pilsner from the Günther-Bräu. The Pilsener brewing style beer comes from the Upper Franconian town of Burgkunstadt and, in addition to a moderate alcohol content of 4.9%, brings a lean and tasty pleasure to the glass.
The Premium Pilsner flows out of the bottle in a classic look and smells of freshly grated lemon zest, green hops and lush grass. The first taste reveals a light-footed body with wonderful freshness. Soft malt forms the undernote that tastes of bread and light grain. The hops harmoniously deliver citrus notes, floral hints, hay and a subtly balanced bitterness.
