Tap to rate

A 4.8% Helles Lager brewed as the brewery's Oktoberfest beer, crisp, perfectly bitter and lightly floral. It is hopped with Tettnanger, Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Tradition. The idea came from potato salad, and the brewery signs off its description with a cheerful Prost.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a well-balanced interplay of light malt sweetness and restrained bitterness. The mid-palate remains clean and smooth, allowing the noble-hop bitterness to unfold gradually without dominating, finishing with a gently drying sensation that invites the next sip.
