Wittmann LA Lager

Tap to rate

A round, light-yellow lager, balanced and mildly malty with a gentle spiciness, rounded off in the background by a discreet hop bitterness. Mild, harmonious and uncomplicated. It comes from LA and is named after it: a Wittmann beer in which the cosiness and togetherness of the brewery's home town, Landshut, come to life.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wittmann LA Lager

◎ Appearance

A pale, luminous yellow that catches the light with clarity and purity. The head forms quickly and holds with gentle persistence, leaving fine lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and even, creating a soft bead that sustains throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft malt notes—grain and light sweetness that recalls fresh bread. A subtle floral and herbal quality emerges from the noble hops, understated but present. No aggressive phenols or esters; the aromatic profile remains clean and inviting, suggesting a well-balanced fermentation.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and rounded, with gentle malty sweetness that doesn't cloy. The midpalate unfolds with a faint spice character—likely from the hop selection—that adds dimension without dominating. Bitterness arrives as a discreet backdrop, barely 18 IBU, finishing the thought rather than concluding it.
