Pyraser Kärwabier

Tap to rate

The brewery's festival lager for the Franconian Kirchweih season, poured at fairs around Nuremberg from April to June and sold in shops from mid-April. Bottom-fermented and filtered, brewed to 13.5 °P, it is golden with a fine, firm head. Pilsner and Munich malt give a strong, malt-aromatic flavour of fresh bread and light caramel sweetness, while Perle, Hersbrucker and Saphir hops stay in the background. Full-bodied and rounded, stronger than the everyday lagers at 6 % alcohol.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted bread and soft malt sweetness from the Pilsner and Munich base. Light caramel and honey notes emerge as the beer warms, while Perle, Hersbrucker and Saphir hops remain discreet in the background, adding only a subtle herbal frame without asserting themselves.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and rounded, delivering the promised malt character immediately. Bread crust and a gentle caramel sweetness dominate the mid-palate, while the 22 IBUs provide a soft, integrated bitterness that balances rather than challenges. The finish is clean and malty, with no harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, fading gradually with lingering bread and faint caramel notes. A light, dry mineral quality emerges late, leaving the palate pleasantly refreshed without astringency.
