Rieder UrEcht

Tap to rate

A softly gleaming beer with a malty, slightly spicy aroma. The palate is full and strongly malty with a green-floral hop note, and the finish closes on malt with a light bitterness. Cold fermentation, long lagering and exclusively local raw materials stand behind it; Rieder UrEcht won DLG Gold in 2017 and 2019 and DLG Silver in 2014.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and strongly malty, with a bread-like, grain-forward core that speaks to quality local ingredients. Green-floral hop notes integrate smoothly into the mid-palate, adding gentle herbaceous texture without dominating. The finish transitions cleanly toward a light, restrained bitterness that balances the malt without drying harshly.
