Flensburger Pilsner is a Northern German pilsner, pale gold with a tight, lingering white head and a clean, bright appearance in the glass.

The aroma is clean and grassy, with a light grainy malt sweetness that gives way to a firm, dry bitterness on the finish. The body is light and carbonation is lively, true to the style, with nothing lingering too long on the tongue and the whole thing staying brisk from first sip to last, never once feeling heavy or overworked.

Drink it cold from a tall glass, and don't let it hang around - this is a beer to enjoy fresh, not file away for later, while that grassy aroma is still at its sharpest and the whole thing is at its liveliest.
