🌍 Germany · Pale Lager · One of 134 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

Dithmarscher Naturtrüb is an unfiltered pils: after maturation it is bottled without filtration, so the yeast remains in suspension and gives it its haze. It pours a deep straw yellow with a fine cloudiness. The nose is pleasantly hoppy with fresh yeast; the palate is spicy, bready and full, with a soft leavened note, and the finish closes on a finely bitter hop character. It is brewed to 11.4 °P from barley malt, hops and yeast.

◎ Appearance

The head forms readily and displays good retention, clinging to the glass in delicate lacework. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the visual clarity of the suspension.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a pleasant hoppy character with fresh, earthy notes typical of noble hops. Beneath this lies a subtle yeasty backdrop—clean fermentation notes with a hint of soft bread dough. No harsh phenolics or oxidative character; the overall impression is crisp and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with spicy hop bitterness complemented by a bready malt foundation. Mid-palate reveals fullness and roundness, with a leavened quality that echoes the yeast in suspension—soft rather than sharp. The malt backbone provides gentle sweetness without cloying, allowing the hop spice to develop cleanly through the middle.
