hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dry and smooth-drinking character as Haake-Beck 12. Haake-Beck 12 is a fan beer, and the twelve stands for the twelfth man: the supporters. Fan club representatives chose it from three recipes, two names and several label designs, and a fresh, easy-drinking pilsner beat a lighter beer and a dark one. Clear and golden with a fine white head, it pairs a spicy-mild hop note with a light malt sweetness. Tasters find it rounder than the house pils at first, before a northern German hop character and a dry, gently bitter finish take over. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
