◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted and nutty maltiness, immediately evident and inviting. Delicate notes of coffee and cocoa emerge beneath, adding complexity without overshadowing the foundational grain character. A subtle herbal undertone from Mühlviertel hops rounds out the aromatic profile, grounding the composition in its regional identity.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and refined, with roasted-malt character taking the lead and nutty flavors providing structure. Coffee and subtle chocolate notes weave through the mid-palate, creating a cohesive, full-bodied impression without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained at 24 IBU, allowing the malt expression to dominate while noble hops contribute a gentle, finishing dryness.

About Lager

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.

Finding a similar Lager

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same roasted, nutty, coffee character as Pegasus will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
