Berliner Pranke
Introduced in 2022 as the stronger member of the Berliner family, the Pranke is a full-strength bottom-fermented lager at 6 percent. The brewery describes it as mild and easy-drinking, with soft, aromatic malts meeting light hop notes. It pours golden and clear. The nose carries fresh hop and cereal, and the palate is grainy and sweetish with a rounded body that hides the extra strength well. Hop extract gives a sharper edge than the mild label suggests, so the finish is moderately bitter and fairly dry, with a little warmth from the alcohol.
