Brewed for the brewery's 150th anniversary in 2017 — an amber, naturally hazy specialty built around the German aroma hop Saphir. Malty-strong at the core, floral-citrus in the aroma, with a bone-dry rounded finish. Named for Jacob Stauder, the family member the brewery still carries the name of.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Stauder Jacobs Bierchen

Appearance

Medium amber with a natural haze that catches the light, revealing a warm copper-bronze core. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is moderate and even, creating a gentle cascade of fine bubbles.

Aroma

Saphir hops lead with distinctive floral and citrus notes—think honeyed white flowers with a whisper of mandarin zest. Underneath sits a solid malt backbone of bread crust and light caramel. The overall impression is restrained and balanced, with no sharp edges or alcohol burn.

Taste

Entry is smooth and malt-forward, with caramel sweetness and a gentle Vienna-style roundness filling the palate. Mid-palate reveals the Saphir character—a light herbal-floral dryness—without overwhelming the malt foundation. Bitterness is low and integrated, finishing clean rather than assertive.

Finish

The finish is bone-dry and rounded, allowing the malt's subtle sweetness to fade gracefully without lingering. A light, crisp aftertaste remains, inviting the next sip rather than demanding it.
