Pilsner 6 º

Hertog Jan Brouwerij

Hertog Jan Primator presents a refined and intensified expression of the classic lager tradition. This Extra Pilsener pours a brilliant gold, radiating with a clean, grainy-sweet malt backbone reminiscent of fresh-baked bread and light honey. Noble hop varieties impart a moderate but elegant floral and herbal bouquet that lingers gracefully. The palate is defined by a smooth, medium-bodied richness that elevates it above a standard lager, balancing a soft malt sweetness with a crisp, firm bitterness. Its finish is remarkably clean and dry, making this traditionally brewed specialty both substantial and exceptionally refreshing, showcasing the brewery’s commitment to lager excellence.
