Hopfenbrise

Tap to rate

The brewery's light beer: pale in the glass and harmoniously hopped, with a fine, aromatic hop bitterness that stays gentle. It is meant to refresh in summer but is not limited to the warm months. Like all Gablitzer beers it is brewed by hand in Purkersdorf, in the Vienna Woods, and filled without pasteurising or filtering.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hopfenbrise

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow, brilliant and crystal clear in the glass. A fine white head forms quickly and recedes to a delicate lace around the rim, held briefly by gentle carbonation. The body is light and bright, inviting the eye to the clean, uncomplicated character within.

◌ Aroma

The nose is clean and understated, dominated by a gentle, noble hop character with subtle floral and herbal undertones. A whisper of soft breadiness from the pale malt provides a neutral foundation, without any yeast-driven esters or phenolics. The overall impression is fresh and summery, inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and crisp, with a dry entry that avoids any sweetness. Noble hop bitterness unfolds gently across the mid-palate, offering a fine, aromatic quality rather than harsh edge. The malt remains lean and supportive, finishing with a clean, dry character that emphasizes refreshment over body or complexity.
