🌍 Germany · Amber Lager · One of 34 Amber Lagers in hopIQ

Named for the year the house first appears in the records, this is the everyday lager of the inn. It flows chestnut to copper into the glass under an off-white head. Toasted grain and fresh bread crust set the tone, joined by caramel, candied orange and a trace of honey. Grassy hops and a measured bitterness keep the malt from turning sweet. The body is full and round, the close clean and gently spicy.
