Zwergla
Zwergla takes its name from the little dwarf rolling a barrel in the brewery's crest and is Fässla's best-known beer. This bottom-fermented dark lager is brewed from 13.5 °P to 6.0 percent and pours a deep mahogany with reddish glints. Soft on the palate and lightly malty, it shows caramel, toasted bread crust and hazelnut, with a touch of dark fruit and cocoa from the darker malts. Carbonation is lively, the hops stay restrained, and the finish is round and gently sweet rather than bitter.
