Unser Seppelsche

Tap to rate

Amber and full-bodied, with fine caramel notes: special malts get a caramelised share already during kilning, and these notes return as harmonious aromas in the finished beer. 5.6% ABV from 12.5% original gravity. Seppelsche comes in the swing-top bottle with its "plop" and is often drunk straight from it. Brewers once made such styles for special occasions, the best ones joined the range.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with pronounced caramel and malt flavors that coat the palate evenly. The malt backbone remains the dominant feature throughout the mid-palate, supported by a gentle 22 IBU bitterness that provides restraint rather than assertion. The beer finishes clean with residual sweetness, maintaining its harmonious balance from first sip to last.
