Tap to rate

Caramel notes shape this malt-forward, amber-coloured Amber Ale, with sweetness and bitterness in a balanced relationship. A pleasant hop bitterness rounds off the finish. The brewery places it between the Saualpe and the Mittagskogel, among woody undertones, and brews it from water, barley malt, hops and yeast.
