Bamberger Braunbier

Tap to rate

Brown lager from old monastery recipes, brewed in the spirit of the Fürstbischöfliches Braunbierhaus and over 480 years of tradition. Glossy amber in the glass under a fine, creamy head. Strong caramel meets roasted hazelnut and lightly fruity hop, the body is full and refreshingly spritzy. The hop bitterness is well integrated and the finish turns sweetish with toffee. Hallertauer Perle and Tradition hops.

◐ Taste

The palate opens full and malty, with caramel and roasted nut flavors forming the core of the experience. Bitterness arrives cleanly integrated at 25 IBU, providing structure without dominating; the Edelhopfen contribute a light fruity note that prevents heaviness. The body remains refreshingly spritzy throughout, balancing the sweetness with crisp carbonation.
