Saufkumpane

Tap to rate

A warm-golden Vienna lager: gentle caramel malt builds a rounded, balanced body, and Mittelfrüh adds a mild herbal aroma with an elegantly balanced bitterness. Smooth and friendly in the glass. Saufkumpane are drinking buddies, which is the role this lager takes on, brewed with only water, barley malt, hops and yeast.
