Everyday Blond

Tap to rate

Fruity and mild: Mandarina Bavaria hops give this filtered golden ale a fine, aromatic fruitiness, pale wheat malt adds delicacy, and there is no conspicuous bitterness. Pilsner and Munich malt round out the 5.2 % ABV beer, brewed from a 12.5° Plato wort and available since September 2016. For the brewery's ten years in Allschwil, a special bottling called 4123 appeared in June 2026.
