Light malt notes and biscuit on the nose, then fine malt with hops that linger. A straw-yellow, bottom-fermented beer made from 100% Pilsner malt, finely sparkling, 5.5% ABV and served at 7 °C. A more strongly hopped speciality beer from a brewery whose first strong beer, Doppelfalken, appeared in 1953.

◐ Taste

The palate shows a well-integrated malty foundation with fine bready character that provides body without heaviness. Noble hops deliver measured bitterness and a crisp, clean finish on the tongue. The malt-to-hop balance tilts slightly toward grain sweetness, but remains dry and refreshing overall.

About Pale Lager

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.
