GROSS Desítka presents a refined, low-gravity profile that bridges the gap between a traditional American Lager and classic European techniques. Brewed with premium Continental malt and traditional decoction mashing, it offers a surprisingly rich, grainy malt base despite its sessionable 4% ABV. The prominent use of Saaz hops introduces a distinctively spicy and herbal aroma that elevates the clean fermentation profile. Crisp and highly attenuated, this lager finishes exceptionally dry, driven by soft water and a brisk carbonation. It is a refreshing, pale gold beverage designed for high drinkability while maintaining the structured elegance of its noble ingredients.
