Kloster Urtyp

Tap to rate

Sweet malt and the scent of grain fields come first, with a subtle hop spice behind them. On the palate this bottom-fermented, urbayerisches Helles stays mild, framed by a fine, balanced hop bitterness. Golden-yellow under a creamy head, 4.9% ABV from 11.5% Stammwürze. The barley comes from the brewery's own fields.
