Wittmann 2,9 Medium

Tap to rate

Bright yellow and elegant: the aroma brings fine herbal notes and mild malt, and on the palate light malt, pleasant hop notes and a hint of lively acidity sit in balance, with herbal hop character and a delicate bitterness. The brewery set out to make a light beer with plenty of flavour and little alcohol, and this pale Schankbier is its answer.

◐ Taste
