A light beer in which hops and malt both come through: green herbal notes and velvety honey tones, a slim, freshly sparkling body and a fine, tart hop bitterness in the finish. 3.5 % ABV at 9.5 % original gravity and 34 kcal per 100 ml, deep golden with a stable head. Bottom-fermented and brewed under the Reinheitsgebot in the Görlitz brewery on the Neisse, where every beer is brewed by hand.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and clean, allowing both malt sweetness and hop character to emerge. A velvety honey tone develops mid-palate, underpinned by a crisp, tart hop bitterness that prevents any cloying sensation. The finish brings a fine, dry hop bite that lingers without overpowering, leaving the beer feeling balanced and refreshingly light.
