Schwechater Brauerei

Vienna Lager·Austria·5.3% ABV·One of 60 Vienna Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Schwechater Wiener Lager's caramel and malty character. Amber with orange glints: the Vienna style Anton Dreher created in 1841, brewed anew since 2016. Fine hop notes and a hint of biscuit rise from the glass; in the mouth a restrained bitterness meets roasty, malty aromas and a caramel touch, without seeming sweet. The grist combines Vienna malt, Pilsner malt and a specialty malt. 5.3 % ABV.
