Pils is short for German-style Pilsner, the country’s most popular lager. Unlike its deep golden Czech cousin, this brew is typically straw-blond, with a mediumbody, a more restrained malt backbone, and a distinctly crisp, hop-bitter finish. Sharply filtered to a brilliant polish and topped by a firm white head of foam, this 4.8 percent alcohol brew is an ideal summer beer garden session lager. Its bouquet is reminiscent of an alpine meadow in full bloom, with notes of hay and herbs, some citrus, and a touch of red berries. On the palate, aromas of straw and herbs arise, which continue into a refreshing finish.
Serve it with a delicate white fish or a tender chicken roasted on a spit; or pack it into a picnic basket next to a stack of hearty cold-cut sandwiches.
