Golden-amber color with bronze undertones, this beer has a rounded, robust, slightly toffee/caramel flavour and nose but has maintained a level of drinkability not usually found in amber beers.
A 5.0% ABV Amber Beer, full bodied and well rounded, with a moderately bitter flavour. Amber in colour with bronze overtones, this lager is a great example of the brewery's exceptional capabilities.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Menabrea uses pure mountain water sourced high in the Alps, close to Biella (Piedmont). The water combines with selected barley malt and maize (corn) before adding Hallertau Magnum hops.
The addition of maize gives a lightness to the beer both in terms of color and taste and also adds a hint of sweetness, which balances the bitterness from the Hallertau hops. The combination of these ingredients brewed by the master brewer to a recipe basically unchanged since 1846 gives a beer with balanced bitterness, a floral fruity nose and a delicate pale-golden color.
This lager, like all of the Menabrea beers is matured peacefully in their underground cellars for 6 weeks. This beer has been matured in the brewery’s deep, cold cellars the same way for over 170 years.
