Full-bodied and gently sweet.

A slow, coating pour that settles on the tongue and rewards the sip that follows.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tegernseer Quirinus

Appearance

Deep amber to dark brown, with excellent clarity and a persistent, creamy head that clings to the glass with fine retention. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a smooth visual presentation typical of a lager's refined conditioning.

Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced malty sweetness backed by caramel and bread crust notes. Dark fruit esters—plum and fig—emerge beneath the malt foundation, with subtle toasty undertones that suggest patient lagering and careful grain selection.

Taste

The palate is full and rich, leading with biscuit and caramel character that carries through the mid-palate with gentle dark fruit complexity. Restrained noble hop bitterness (22 IBU) provides only light frame; the emphasis remains on clean malt sweetness and smooth body rather than assertive hop character.

Finish

The finish is medium-long and warming, with the 7% ABV present as gentle alcohol warmth rather than harshness. A subtle caramel aftertaste lingers with the brewery's characteristic clean lager signature, leaving no astringency.
