Osma

Tap to rate

Osma is a light draught lager, brewed from the brewery's own water and two kinds of malt and hopped with the special Saaz Shine variety. The brewery introduced it as a summer novelty for hot days and named it simply Osma. It calls the beer light, with a pleasantly modest strength, and sells it at its own shops, in bottles and on tap.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with subtle noble-hop character, delivering a whisper of herbal and slightly floral notes. Soft Malz undertones provide a light, grainy foundation without any assertive malt sweetness. The overall aromatics remain delicate and restrained, emphasizing freshness over intensity.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with a light body that sits easily on the palate. The mid-palate develops a gentle malt foundation balanced by modest Edelhopfen bitterness; the finish remains dry without harshness. At 22 IBU, the bitterness is present but never dominant, allowing the beer's refreshing character to shine.
