Brauerei Hofstetten

Imperial Pilsner·Austria·6% ABV·One of 4 Imperial Pilsners in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Aurora's hoppy and bitter character. An imperial pilsner built on 100% Mühlviertel Aurora hops and a strong malt bed. Dark gold and naturally cloudy, it shows fresh green-hop aromas with delicate citrus on the nose, a clear, elegant bitterness balanced by a restrained malt sweetness on the palate, and a dry, intense, lingering finish. Fifty bitterness units and triple hopping justify the name. Conceived as a champion bitter for sommelier world champion Karl Schiffner, brewed since 2010. 6.0% ABV.
