Klintekongens Klassik

◎ Aussehen

Golden amber hue with a warm, translucent glow characteristic of the Vienna Lager style. The unfiltered, unpasteurised nature lends a gentle haze that catches light softly. Head retention is moderate, with fine lacing that clings to the glass as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh citrus—lemon zest and subtle orange notes dominate. Underneath, caramel malt sweetness emerges with a soft toasted grain character, creating an inviting, balanced bouquet. A whisper of bread crust adds complexity without overwhelming the delicate hop perfume.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and lightly sweet from caramel malt, with lemon and citrus notes unfolding across the mid-palate. Bitterness arrives gently—25 IBU provides just enough hop bite to anchor the malt sweetness without asserting dominance. The finish remains soft and round, with lingering bread notes and a clean, dry conclusion.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is gentle and lingering, with caramel and bread notes fading gradually into a crisp, dry baseline. No harshness or astringency interrupts the soft, rounded farewell.
