Reh Pils on tap at Palais Schaumburg pours with a white creamy head and Spalter hops in the nose. The balanced palate is abundantly hopped but not overly so. There’s a gentle fruity character that fits well and the lingering finish is moreishly dry with a perfect level of bitterness.
Roppelt Pils is a dry hoppy example of the style with a clean, dry, bitter finish.
Sauer Sommerbier is a refreshing low alcohol beer, perfect for a summer day at 3.5%.
Greif Edel-Pils is malty for the style but there is fair hopping, making for a very sessionable beer closer to a hoppy Helles. The lingering semi-dry finish is moreish.
Neder Pils is a fine cross between a traditional Pils and a Helles with more body and malt than the former and more hops than the latter. It's a tough balancing act but it pulls it off.
Meinel-Bräu Keller is a sessionable Pils with a grainy/hoppy palate and semi-dry, semi-bitter finish.
Gundel Pils is a dry hoppy brew session beer with a clean, dry, bitter finish.
Spalter Preimium Pils is true to style clean, dry German Pils with a fine nose of Spalter hops which carries over into the semi-dry, semi-bitter finish.
Sauer Kellerbier is a great dry fruity session beer best enjoyed at their Felsenkeller in summer.
While Gradl is justifiably most noted for their amazing Dunkles, their Pils is one of the better examples in Franconia with a nice mix of grain and hops. The pleasant bitterness in the finish is moreish.
