Fässla Lagerbier

Tap to rate

Fässla Lagerbier is the house classic, poured at the street-side Schwemme and a common carry-out beer among young locals. The brewery speaks of a strong yellow tone and a lightly full, somewhat malty body; in the glass it reads deep gold to light amber. Brewed from 12.5 °P to 5.5 percent, it leads with toasty grain, bread crust and caramel, with a touch of honey, while herbal, spicy hops and a hint of orange peel keep it in balance. The finish is dry and gently bitter.
