Golser Kästensud

Tap to rate

A quarter of the starch-giving raw materials comes from wild chestnuts of central Burgenland, used as ground raw fruit; chestnuts bring starch and sugar but no enzymes of their own, so 25 percent is the practical ceiling. Brown-orange in colour, mild and nutty on the nose, with chestnut and a slightly woody feel in the body. Classic malty sweetness gives way to a tart, dry finish with tingling carbonation.

◐ Taste

Entry brings classic malty sweetness balanced by the natural starch-driven body from chestnut adjunct. Mid-palate develops a tart, dry character with oak-like woodiness that gradually dominates; bitterness remains soft and integrated at 12 IBU, allowing the adjunct complexity to shine through.
