Tap to rate

Osma is the brewery's lightest draught-strength lager: a bottom-fermented Czech pale lager with 3.2% ABV, 8.4% extract, 32 IBU and 6 EBC, brewed from water, barley malts and granulated hops. The brewery presents it as a session beer, a "featherweight with backbone", with herbal, citrusy bitterness from the Czech hop Gaia. It is unfiltered and unpasteurised and sold in the brewery's own online shop.

◐ Taste

Osma enters with a light, clean palate and a delicate malt sweetness that quickly yields to assertive herbal and citric bitterness from the Gaia hops. The mid-palate remains lean and refreshing, with the 32 IBU providing backbone without heaviness. The finish is dry and composed, leaving a lingering hoppy bite.
