Erntebier

Tap to rate

A top-fermented low-alcohol beer with which Weyermann revives an old, almost forgotten tradition: the harvest beer once brewed to nourish and reward farmers and their helpers during the hard weeks in the fields. It is golden in the glass, and the nose runs from an intense malt aroma to fruity notes of wild berries and strawberries. Despite its 2.5 % ABV it drinks full-flavoured, with a slim to medium body, a pleasant hop note and a creamy mouthfeel.
