Kaiser Premium

Austria·Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Kaiser Premium is brewed for the tap in Austrian gastronomy. With an original gravity of 12.2 °P it comes out slightly stronger than Kaiser Fasstyp. It pours golden yellow, and its character is floral: blossom-like hop notes sit over a clean base of pale barley malt with a soft bready undertone. The body is medium, and a delicate hop bitterness lingers gently in the finish without turning sharp.
