Störtebeker Baltik-Lager

◎ Aussehen

A bright copper-amber hue with excellent clarity and a dense, ivory head that clings persistently to the glass, leaving a continuous trace of lacing. The carbonation is lively and fine, creating an inviting visual presence typical of a well-conditioned lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft biscuity malt and warm caramel sweetness, the foundation of Vienna and crystal malt work in harmony. Subtle organic hop notes emerge behind—a gentle floral and herbal whisper from Tradition and Cascade, never dominating, allowing the malt's honey and bread character to remain in focus.

◐ Geschmack

A rounded, medium-bodied entry gives way to a malty mid-palate where light caramel sweetness and toasted grain mingle with restrained coffee and chocolate undertones. Hop bitterness remains moderate and clean, providing balance without astringency; the organic aroma hops contribute only subtle earthiness and finish without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and dry, with the sweetness dissolving cleanly and the bitterness fading to a gentle, lingering dryness. A pleasant warmth from the 5.5% ABV sits comfortably in the throat without any sense of harshness or heaviness.
