hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and crisp character as 1516 Lager. Named after the Bavarian purity law of 1516 and brewed to it: barley, hops, yeast and water, nothing further. It arrives a clear golden colour under a thin white head, and the nose is malt-led — cereal, straw and a trace of fresh bread rather than hops. A mild grainy sweetness carries into a crisp, almost mineral finish, with bitterness held low at 17 IBU. A lager built on restraint rather than accent. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
