Tegernseer Leicht

Germany·Light Lager
Tap to rate

Bavaria's answer to the light-lager problem: 2.8% ABV, thin body, high drinkability. Restrained hop character, minimal malt sweetness, brewed for the day you want a Bavarian beer but not the calories. Not a diet beer — a serious brewery's serious low-alcohol answer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tegernseer Leicht

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with steady restraint. The carbonation is moderate and even, creating a gentle cascade that settles into a stable collar. The visual presentation conveys both delicacy and structural integrity.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and clean, offering subtle floral and herbal notes from noble hops with minimal intensity. A whisper of soft grain appears beneath, with no discernible sweetness or fermentation character. The overall impression is one of simplicity and balance rather than aromatic complexity.

◐ Taste

On entry, the palate strikes a lean, crisp impression with minimal malt sweetness and an almost austere grain quality. The middle develops a delicate, dry profile with restrained hop bitterness that never dominates, while the thin body allows the beer to wash cleanly across the tongue. Finish arrives promptly with no lingering sweetness.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with a dry, slightly grainy aftertaste that fades without clinging. The beer leaves the palate clean and ready for the next sip.
