Sommertraum

Tap to rate

A bottom-fermented summer seasonal, brewed and poured only in the warm months and bottled unfiltered. Cascade hops go into the lagering tank, a cold-hopping step the brewery traces back to traditional practice, so the hop aroma comes through in full. The result is fresh and fruity, with floral notes, orange and a light lemony citrus over a lean, pale malt base of soft bread and grain. The finish is dry, with a mild but clear hop bitterness.

Pale straw yellow, brilliantly clear with fine, bright carbonation. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with gentle, persistent lacing. A visually inviting pour that speaks to its unfiltered yet well-conditioned character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus and floral Cascade character—orange zest and subtle lemon notes dominate. Beneath this sits a soft, grainy Malz foundation with hints of fresh bread. The dry-hopping brings an erfrischend, verdant quality that feels both delicate and clearly present.

◐ Taste

Entry is lean and crisp, with soft bread malt providing a neutral, clean base. The mid-palate delivers fruity, citric notes from Cascade—orange and light lemon—without heaviness. A dry, herbal hop bitterness builds gradually and carries through, never aggressive but unmistakably there.
