Lemisch

Tap to rate

Mahogany with reddish reflections and a fine opal haze: a light malt scent with caramel notes, malty on the first sip with a light caramel note and a subtle roasted aroma, and a balanced bitterness. The name is a bow to the Lemisch family, who made the Wimitzbräu project possible; the brewery stands on the grounds of the former Lemisch sawmill, and the Lemisch spring supplies the untreated brewing water.

◐ Taste

The palate enters malty and full, with caramel warmth building through the mid-range. A balanced bitterness arrives mid-sip, neither sharp nor lingering, while roasted undertones lend complexity. The finish is smooth and clean, with a touch of bread crust minerality that reflects the beer's spring-water provenance.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste fades gently with lingering caramel and a whisper of roast, leaving no harshness or astringency. A dry, mineral-tinged conclusion reflects the untreated brewing water's influence.
