Luggi

Tap to rate

Fine spice and a hint of fruit rise from the glass, then a gentle hop spiciness carries into a light bitterness in the finish. Luggi is a nod to Duke Ludwig I, founder of Straubing's Neustadt, and to his wife Ludmilla of Bohemia, who brought the Bavarian lozenges into the marriage. Golden in colour with a velvety head, 4.6% ABV from 11.1% Stammwürze.
