🌍 Germany · Helles Lager · One of 253 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

Schlaubetaler Landbier takes its name from the Schlaube valley, the wooded stream valley near Neuzelle, and the brewery calls it a genuine lager of the Mark Brandenburg, made for walkers and nature lovers. At 4.8 % ABV it pours golden yellow under a fine head. Pleasantly balanced and fresh, it shows a gently bitter edge with light toasty notes; tasters find honeyed malt sweetness and a moderate hop finish. In the United States it is sold as Nova Cella Schlaubetaler Landbier.

◌ Aroma

The nose is gentle and inviting, leading with soft noble hop character balanced by light toasty malt notes. A subtle honeyed sweetness emerges beneath, suggesting careful grain selection and restrained fermentation, with no harsh alcohol or yeast-driven esters.
