A seasonal specialty for winter: golden, malt-forward and feinherb spicy, with a feinherb rounded hop note and a pleasantly full body. The aroma hops lead the bitterness. It runs at 5.7 % ABV from 13 °P and is brewed from water, barley malt and hops, with very soft water from the Erzgebirge-Vogtland nature park.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced malt sweetness and a bready, full-bodied character that coats the mouth pleasantly. Noble hop bitterness emerges steadily mid-palate, creating a feinherb balance rather than overwhelming the malt backbone. The spice character follows through cleanly, giving structure without sharpness.
