Wernesgrüner Landbier 1436

Wernesgrüner Brauerei
Germany·Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Named after the year the brewing right in Wernesgrün was granted, this bottom-fermented full-strength beer is brewed from 11.8 °P original gravity and hopped with aromatic varieties from the Elbe-Saale region. It pours golden to light amber with a firm head. The malt leads with bread crust, light caramel and a hint of honey, and the hops add a gently spicy, herbal note. The body is fuller than the Pils, and a moderate bitterness closes it with a slightly dry edge.
