Stiegl-Kreativ Bio Hausbier Hopfenlager

Tap to rate

Unfiltered and sunny yellow under a dense head, this Hoppy Hell smells of grassy hops alongside delicate malt tones. A pronounced hop bloom of grassy and citrus-like character takes over on the palate, and the finish rings out with hoppy farewells. Bottom-fermented, 5.1 % ABV at 12° original gravity, brewed with organic barley malt and hops, available all year.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced hop presence—grassy and citric—that commands the mid-palate without harsh edges. A light, crisp malt backbone provides gentle breadiness and sweetness, allowing the hop character to remain the focal point. The finish transitions smoothly from the hoppy bloom into a clean, dry conclusion with lingering herbal notes.
