Germany·Dry-Hopped Lager
Tap to rate

A collaboration with Brauerei Schloss Berg, founded in 1904 in the birthplace of the writer Oskar Maria Graf and revived in 2012. This unfiltered Helles is dry-hopped with Southern Passion from South Africa and Citra, and it comes across fruity, fresh, full-bodied and easy to drink. 5.0 % ABV from 11.5° Plato; this brew was made for the second time.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Oskar

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent translucence, revealing the unfiltered character through a fine, even haze. A dense, creamy white head forms and maintains firm adhesion to the glass walls throughout the pour. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent citrus notes from the Citra hop, followed by peachy and passion fruit aromatics from the Southern Passion variety. Beneath the hop-driven character lies a subtle, clean malt foundation with a faint grain sweetness. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh alpha acid bite.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with fruity flavors leading the palate—stone fruit and citrus zest integrate seamlessly with soft, bready malt notes. Mid-palate maintains good body without heaviness, while moderate bitterness (22 IBU) provides structure without dominance. The finish remains dry yet refreshing, with hop character resolving into a clean, lingering citrus note.
