Sigi's Lager

Brauerei Friedmann
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 123 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

Named after master brewer Sigi Friedmann, Sigi's Lager is the most recent addition to the core range and is only available in the warmer months. The bottom-fermented beer is left completely unfiltered and pours a hazy amber. Grainy, bready malt and a light caramel sweetness meet a fruity edge reminiscent of tart apple. The body is full and creamy, the carbonation lively and fresh, and a soft hop bitterness keeps the finish clean.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Sigi's Lager

Appearance

Sigi's Lager presents a hazy amber pour, the result of its deliberate lack of filtration and continued suspension of yeast. The head forms with moderate density and displays steady retention, while the lively carbonation creates a fine, persistent bead throughout the glass.

Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced grainy and bready character, backed by soft caramel undertones. A fruity edge emerges—tart apple notes—offering freshness and complexity that lifts the malt foundation without overwhelming it.

Taste

The palate is full and creamy, with the bready, malty core establishing the entry and mid-palate. Fruity notes persist alongside a light caramel sweetness, while a soft, clean hop bitterness arrives to balance the sweetness and maintain a dry, refreshing quality.
