Konstanzer Pegel Pils (Constance Gauge Pils)

When water alone won’t do… A mildly bitter, dry-hopped Pilsner.

Lake Constance has its water level. Now Konstanz has one too. The Konstanzer Pegel Pils is a modern, dry-hopped Pils that reinterprets the classic beer style. Crisp, fresh, and with just the right amount of hop aroma. A beer for anyone who loves an honest Pils — but likes to drink a little outside the lines. A modern classic, really.

Right from the pour, the beer shows a clear golden colour with a fine-pored, stable head. On the nose, classic herbal notes meet fresh citrus hints and a subtle floral hop aroma. Dry hopping gives the beer extra freshness without masking its typical Pils character.

How it tastes

Lean, dry and wonderfully refreshing. A subtle malt note appears first, before the hops take command. Herbs, light citrus notes and a pleasant floral freshness create a modern flavour profile. The 35 IBU bring just the right amount of bitterness — present, but never overpowering. Thanks to its dry finish, the Konstanzer Pegel Pils is incredibly easy to drink and leaves you wanting the next sip.

Pairs well with

A hearty Brotzeit platter, schnitzel, fish from Lake Constance, Flammkuchen, or a pizza with friends. And of course, mild summer evenings by the lake — after all, this beer didn't get its name for nothing.

Our verdict

The Konstanzer Pegel Pils proves that Pils doesn't have to be old-fashioned at all. The combination of classic clarity and modern dry hopping brings freshness, aroma, and a wonderfully balanced bitterness to the glass. A beer for purists, craft beer fans, and anyone who believes a truly good Pils never goes out of style.
