Primusbräu

Tap to rate

This pale yellow, bottom-fermented full beer tastes sweet, with balanced cereal aromas and mild hop bitterness. The Austrian hop varieties Aurora and Tradition add soft citrus and orange notes that stay in the background, and the texture is full-bodied with a rounded finish. It is somewhat stronger than common Märzen beers, with a warming depth that does not turn heavy. The brewery places its origin between the Kreuzbergl quarry and St. Primus church.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and smooth, with a pronounced sweetness that carries through the mid-palate without becoming cloying. Malty cereal grain builds the foundation, while the Austrian hops contribute gentle citrus and orange notes that linger softly. Bitterness is mild and well-integrated, lending structure rather than dominance at 12 IBU.
