Tap to rate

The flagship of the revived Bomonti brand — Bomonti Unfiltered is a naturally hazy, yeast-alive lager positioned as a premium heritage product for Istanbul's growing craft beer market. The unfiltered process retains the yeast and delivers a fuller, more rounded malt character with a gentle fruity depth compared to a filtered lager. Bomonti Unfiltered is marketed in Turkey's restaurant and bar scene as a step up from standard Efes Pilsen.
