Tap to rate

The first Pilsen of DouGall's is crystal clear and well carbonated, with a light, friendly, subtle and refreshing aroma and flavour. It is made from German Pils malt, noble hops and lager yeast in line with the Reinheitsgebot of 1516, and its recipe has been polished since 2012. The brewery presents it as a beer for any place and any moment. It won Gold at the Barcelona Beer Challenge in 2016 and 2017 and Bronze in 2018 and 2019.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a dry, delicate malt backbone offering bready sweetness and soft cereal notes. Mid-palate remains clean and smooth-drinking, allowing subtle noble hop bitterness to emerge without dominating. The 25 IBU provides gentle, measured bittering that complements rather than challenges the malt structure.

What is a Pale 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.
