🌍 Austria · Amber Lager · One of 34 Amber Lagers in hopIQ

Nockerbier is the local speciality of the Wieselburg brewery, named after a nearby vineyard hill and brewed with a share of caramel malt. It pours a bright amber under a creamy off-white head. The nose is warm and malty, with caramel, biscuit and a whisper of nut. The palate is soft and rounded, with toffee-like malt sweetness balanced by a delicate hop bitterness; the finish is malty and mellow, with a lingering caramel note and only a light, herbal hop echo.

Aroma

The nose leads with warm, inviting malty character — caramel and biscuit notes dominate, underpinned by a subtle nuttiness that adds complexity. A delicate herbal whisper in the background suggests noble hop influence without asserting itself, creating a balanced and approachable aromatic profile.

Taste

Entry is soft and rounded, with pronounced toffee-like malt sweetness that unfolds across the palate. Mid-palate remains smooth and creamy, developing gentle hop bitterness that prevents sweetness from overwhelming. The malt structure carries throughout, balanced by restrained herbal hop presence that keeps the beer refreshing and clean.
