Herslev Wiener Klassik

Tap to rate

A Danish-brewed lager in the classic Viennese tradition: bottom-fermented, with a clean, rounded bitterness and the toasted depth of the malt. A thirst-quencher brewed only from organic barley, hops and yeast at the organic farm brewery in Herslev, just outside Roskilde.

Smooth entry with a rounded, approachable malt sweetness that transitions into a balanced bitterness on the mid-palate. The organic barley provides a slightly bready, grainy foundation with restrained caramel undertones, while the 25 IBUs deliver a crisp, genteel bite that never overwhelms the malt character.
