Oppigårds Lager

Tap to rate

Oppigårds' organic Swedish lager, brewed with Barke pilsner and Vienna malt — an ancient Swedish grain variety with heritage the modern hybrids gave up. Organic Cascade and Magnum hops add just enough character to sit above adjunct territory. Cold, crisp, dry, and thoroughly Swedish in the ingredient story.

◐ Taste

The palate is crisp and dry, with a bready, slightly toasty entry that reflects the thoughtful malt selection. Mid-palate shows gentle bitterness and a whisper of herbal spice from the hops, while the overall body remains light and refreshing. The dryness persists throughout, creating a mineral, thirst-quenching quality that invites another sip.
