Nektar

Tap to rate

A low-alcohol lager with peach. It pours bright gold and lively. Soft ripe peach opens the aroma, lifted by a floral hop note; Saaz and Mandarina Bavaria add nectarine and further stone fruit. On the palate the fruit returns alongside nectarine over a light malt base, and brisk carbonation keeps the beer taut. The body is light, the finish crisp and clean.

◐ Taste

The palate echoes the aroma's peach and nectarine character over a light, clean malz base that provides just enough backbone without heaviness. Brisk carbonation keeps the beer taut and refreshing, while the fruit sits comfortably in the mid-palate without overpowering the delicate balance.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and clean, with the fruit fading quickly to leave only a whisper of hop florality and a dry aftertaste. At 2.6% ABV, the beer drinks refreshingly light with no lingering sweetness or alcohol warmth.
