Cool, crisp and immensely sat- isfying, with an alcohol content of 5.5%, Cisk Pilsner offers the dis- cerning beer connoisseur a remark- ably crisp and well-hopped flavour with a rich white head, a delicate bitterness and a superior aroma originating from the rich essential oils present in the Noble hops. Cisk Pilsner is the perfect accom- paniment to light pasta dishes and seafood risottos, shellfish, smoked salmon and sweet and spicy, rich flavoured, poultry. Fresh cheeses such as goat's cheese, fresh moz- zarella and light cheddar also pair perfectly with Cisk Pilsner.

"Beer consumers are truly becom- ing interested and engaged with the large number of new beers, mainly craft and speciality beers, which are being launched. Cisk Pilsner is the result of many years of develop- ment and investment and we are truly excited to have arrived at this point." Eugenio Caruana, Head Brewer at Farsons commented: "We are very proud of our long standing brew- ing excellence and capabilities, and we are confident that the beer con- noisseurs out there will appreciate and enjoy this speciality beer. Cisk Pilsner is truly a Pilsner of excep- tional quality."
