🌍 Germany · Amber Lager · One of 36 Amber Lagers in hopIQ

A seasonal lager brewed in autumn at 13.7 °P from two base malts and several speciality malts, hopped with hops grown by the brewery itself. It pours a bright chestnut colour. The nose is malty with nut and caramel, bread and a light roast. The palate is full and malt-sweet, with walnut, caramel and raisin, while resinous, woody hop notes and a hoppy bitterness dry out the finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm malt character—hazelnut and caramel notes sit alongside bread and subtle roasted grain. The brewery's own hops contribute a light, resinous undertone without dominating the malty profile.

Entry is full and malt-sweet, with walnut and caramel flavours carrying through the mid-palate. Raisin complexity emerges mid-sip, while resinous and woody hop notes gradually assert themselves, driving a hoppy bitterness that dries the finish.
