Beers similar to Linzer Original

Helles Lager·Austria·5.2% ABV·One of 491 Helles Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Linzer Original's grassy and bitter character. Light straw yellow with a grassy hop bloom, balanced in taste. It leaves a pleasant bitterness in the finish and is full-bodied and feinherb. The brewery says the Linz plant could not cover the demand for it, so since the restart in 2017 the Original has been brewed at Brauerei Zipf in Upper Austria.
