Kaiser Fasstyp

Tap to rate

Kaiser Fasstyp is the everyday lager of the brand and is poured fresh in many Austrian inns. Brewed from barley malt to an original gravity of 11.6 °P, it shows a golden yellow colour. The aroma is layered, with hop and grain notes side by side. On the palate light cereal and sweet malt come through with hints of honey and dry grass; the body is light and the finish short and crisp, with the hops staying in the background.

◐ Taste

Light cereal and sweet malt form the foundation of the palate, with delicate honey undertones adding depth. Dry grass and subtle herbal hints emerge in the mid-palate, while bitterness remains restrained and integrated. The body is lean and refreshing, never heavy or cloying.
