Sternquell-Brauerei

Pale Lager·Germany·5.4% ABV·One of 421 Pale Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Sternquell Spezial's bready and herbal character. Spezial has been part of the Sternquell range since 1967; for a time it was sold as Premium Pils before returning to its original name. It is brewed from two-row spring barley and aroma hops at a higher original gravity of 12.4 degrees Plato, and the extra malt softens the hop bitterness while giving the beer more body. Golden in the glass, it smells of fresh bread and cereal with a soft sweetness. Gently spicy, herbal hop notes follow, and the finish is mild and rounded.
