Ursprung

Tap to rate

Dark golden under a fine-pored head, with delicate malt notes and a harmonious, full body. Ursprung is an export-style hell brewed with Hallertau Perle and Tradition hops, 12 °P original gravity, 5.6 % ABV and 18 IBU. It comes from a brewery whose operation an arbitration letter of Count Albert of Hals documents as early as 1268.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, noble hop character from Hallertau Perle and Tradition, offering refined herbal and spice notes without aggression. Beneath this lies a gentle malt foundation—clean grain sweetness with subtle bready undertones. The overall impression is harmonious and approachable, with no harsh or fermentation-driven elements.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with malt-forward sweetness balanced by restrained bittering from the noble hops at 18 IBU. Mid-palate shows good substance and a bready character that supports the overall roundness. The finish remains clean and crisp without drying the mouth, allowing the delicate malt profile to linger.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long and refreshing, with the malt's subtle sweetness fading gracefully into a clean, pleasant dryness. A gentle noble-hop dryness frames the aftertaste without any astringency.
