Isaria 1924

Weyermann Braumanufaktur
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 147 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

A bottom-fermented, opalescent lager the colour of old gold, which the brewery calls a rustic Zoigl with roots in the Upper Palatinate. It is built on Weyermann's Isaria 1924 malt, a revival of the first officially approved German brewing barley, bred from the Lower Bavarian landraces Danubia and Bavaria. The malt brings a fresh bouquet of hay and alpine meadow, a marked biscuit maltiness and a solid body, into which grassy and nutty German hop aromas are embedded. The finish is long.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Isaria 1924

◎ Appearance

A luminous opalescent lager displaying the colour of old gold, with a soft haze that speaks to its rustic Kellerbier character. The head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Gentle carbonation is evident in the steady rise of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh hay and alpine meadow notes, a characteristic signature of the revived Isaria 1924 malt. Beneath lies a pronounced biscuit maltiness with a hint of grain sweetness. Grassy and gently nutty German hop aromas weave through, adding complexity without dominating the malt-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens clean and malty, with the distinctive biscuit character building through the mid-palate into a solid, full body. The Edelhopfen contribute subtle grassy and nutty flavours that balance rather than challenge the malt foundation. Moderate bitterness of 27 IBU provides gentle structure without assertiveness, allowing the malt's heritage character to remain at the fore.
