Beers similar to Hummel Spezial

Amber Lager·Germany·5.4% ABV·One of 102 Amber Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hummel Spezial's malty and full-bodied character. An amber seasonal speciality brewed with its own combination of malts and hops, available from the end of August, at about 13.6 °P original gravity. It is malt-forward and full-bodied: bread crust, caramel and forest honey lead, with a hint of cherry and a light chocolate note from the darker malts. A fine, spicy and grassy hop bitterness keeps it balanced and dries the finish.
