Gösser Spezial
At the gala dinner for the signing of the Austrian State Treaty in 1955, this was the beer in the glass, which is why it is also called the Staatsvertragsbier. Full-bodied and balanced, strong in character, hoppy with a bitter side. Labelled as Vollbier, 5.7% ABV at 13.2° original gravity, brewed from water, barley malt, hops and hop extract.

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
