Alternative
The lightest beer in the range at 2.5%: fresh cereal and white flowers, delicate rather than loud, with lively carbonation and a deliberately light body. Pilsner, Carapils and wheat malts meet Herkules, Cascade, Mandarina Bavaria and Hallertauer Blanc. Made for long after-work evenings and afternoon barbecues where one beer is never enough, and it holds a tight balance between freshness and character.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Alternative
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
