🌍 Austria · Helles Lager · One of 199 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

Wieselburger Stammbräu is the everyday pale lager of the brewery, brewed from barley malt and continental aroma hops. It pours a clear, bright gold under a fine white head. The nose is soft and grainy with a whisper of honey; the palate is refreshingly malty with light bread notes and a delicate hop character, and a mild, gently drying bitterness carries into a clean, easy-drinking finish that keeps the malt in the front.
