Edel-Bitter

Tap to rate

Herkules and Tradition hops lay the base bitterness; Perle, Cascade and Mandarina Bavaria add notes of meadow, citrus and a discreet mandarin. On the nose citrus and apricot, then a lively, delicate body with a distinct, well-defined hop bitterness that ends in a dry finish. 5.0 % ABV at 11.9 % original gravity, bright sunny yellow with a firm, fine-pored head. Bottom-fermented, from the Görlitz brewery on the Neisse.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with a lively body that remains delicate despite the well-defined hop bitterness. The palate reveals layered citrus and peach character from Cascade and Mandarina Bavaria, balanced against the solid base bitterness from Herkules and Perle. Mid-palate remains refreshing and hop-forward without becoming harsh or astringent.

What is a Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
