Beer Style: This historic Bavarian beer party lager style is known for its smooth and clean drinkability with a focus on German malt richness without excess sweetness. Pairs well with accordions.

Dominant Ingredients and Characteristics: Notes of toast, honey and pronounced malty sweetness come from German Munich & Pilsener Malts, while Bavarian Lager yeast enhances the malt.
