Kasztelan Pils is a classic Polish pilsner from the Kasztelan brewery in Sierpc, which has been part of Carlsberg Polska since 2002 and whose beers are brewed according to the brewery's recipes using water, barley malt, and hops. With 5.4% ABV, it is bottled without pasteurization but has been filtered, so it appears clear without haze or yeast in the glass and shines in bright golden yellow with a strong white foam crown. The aroma reveals grassy hop notes and cracker malt, while the taste offers a malty sweetness that is followed by a fresh hop bitterness and a slightly fruity hint of forest berries in the finish. The body is medium-strong, the carbonation lively, and the finish remains crisp and clean. As a brand with roots in a town that has been brewing beer since the Middle Ages, and as one of the best-known Polish beers, Kasztelan Pils stands for an uncomplicated, easy-drinking lager beer enjoyment that pairs well with hearty dishes, grilled foods, and social outdoor occasions.
