German pilsner

Crisp golden ale

German pilsner is a style of pale lager beer originating in Germany, characterized by a crisp, dry finish and pronounced hop bitterness.

It's lighter and more bitter than its Czech ancestor, with a clean, refreshing quality that made it the template for most mass-market beers worldwide: I'll have a German pilsner—something light and easy to drink.
