Berliner Mildes Lager

Tap to rate

Launched in January 2026 under the Berliner umbrella brand, this pale lager is aimed at drinkers who find a classic pils too bitter. It is brewed from pale malts with water from the brewery's own deep wells and has 4.8 percent alcohol at an original gravity of 11.3 percent. It shows a clear yellow colour with a steady head. The aroma is mildly spicy with soft bready malt, and some drinkers note a light fruitiness. The palate is smooth and gently sweet with brisk carbonation, rounded off by a restrained hop note in a clean finish.
