What is German Pilsner?

German Pilsner is a pale, clear lager with a firm, noticeable hop bitterness from noble German hop varieties (Hallertau, Tettnang, and similar) balanced against a light, crisp malt body, usually 4.5-5.2% ABV. It finishes drier and more bitter than a Helles Lager or Mexican Lager, and drier still than a Czech-style pilsner, which tends to carry more malt sweetness. Clarity and a clean, crackery malt backbone are as central to the style as the hop bitterness itself.
