Edel

Tap to rate

Mild, with a finely spicy character: Edel is the bottom-fermented Vollbier brewed with Tettnang aroma hops, barley from local fields and pure brewing water. At 5.5% ABV it stands, together with the Pils, for the classic brewing craft that has been practised on Ravensburg's Bierbuckel since Max Leibinger took over the brewery in 1894.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with a light malty sweetness that quickly transitions to the beer's defining spicy hop character.
