Tap to rate

In the tradition of light beers: discreet floral and earthy notes in the aroma, then a lively first sip that opens into a light drink with fine, fruity hop notes. Mild and dry in the finish, 2.9 %, pale yellow under stable, fine foam. A small hop garden with many varieties grows right behind the brewery in Leutkirch.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hopfenleicht

◎ Appearance

Pale yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality under light. A fine, stable foam forms and clings to the glass, building a delicate lacing pattern as the beer is consumed. The carbonation is lively and persistent, evident in the steady stream of small bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with restrained floral and earthy notes characteristic of noble-variety hops, subtle and refined rather than aggressive. Beneath these lies a faint, clean malt backbone with minimal grain character, allowing the hop profile to speak. The overall impression is delicate and inviting, with no harsh or sharp edges.
