An unfiltered, bottom-fermented lager, poured on draught in the brewery's tap house and in pubs around Heidelberg and also filled in bottles and cans. It is pale to golden yellow and slightly cloudy with a firm head. An earlier manufacturer text names a subtle floral hop flavour, a spicy, mild palate and a light, round bitterness; tasters add a sweetish pale-malt aroma and herbal hop notes.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a sweetish pale malt backbone, offering subtle bread and grain notes. Delicate floral hop character emerges on the mid-palate, accompanied by light herbal undertones that suggest noble hop varieties. The overall impression is restrained and balanced, with no aggressive alcohol or yeast esters.
