Buttenheimer Hopfenzupfer

◎ Appearance

A bright golden-yellow to amber hue, clear and luminous in the glass. The head builds with moderate density and persists with fine lacing that clings delicately to the glass walls. The body carries a light amber warmth without haziness, supported by steady, fine carbonation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a pronounced herbal and grassy hop character from the Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, layered with subtle spice notes. Underneath, soft caramel and toasted bread emerge, with a light stone fruit fruitiness threading through the background. The malt backbone supports without overwhelming, creating a balanced nosing experience of classic hop refinement.

◐ Taste

Entry is malty and full-bodied, with bread and caramel notes establishing themselves immediately on the palate. The mid-palate develops a clean, noble hop presence—grassy and herbal—that provides definition without aggressive bitterness. The moderate 22 IBU creates gentle restraint, allowing the malt sweetness and hop spice to coexist in equilibrium.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length, returning to the fine herbal hop character with a clean, slightly dry conclusion. A gentle warmth from the 5.6% ABV lingers without any heat, leaving behind the memory of spiced hops and fading malt sweetness.

Serve at 4–7°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
