Heater Allen Brewing Abzug
Heater Allen’s Abzug offers a refined, sessionable interpretation of the Vienna Lager, delivering a sophisticated sensory profile at a lower alcohol scale. The pour reveals a brilliant copper hue topped with a persistent off-white foam. On the nose, floral Saaz hops take center stage, supported by a clean, toasty, and bready malt foundation. The palate mirrors this elegance, showcasing a soft malt complexity and a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel. With its dry finish and moderate bitterness, this lager balances its rich malt character with a clean fermentation profile, making it an exceptionally drinkable example of traditional Austrian-style amber lagers.
Appearance. Light reddish-amber to copper color with brilliant clarity. Topped by a large, persistent, off-white head that leaves moderate lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a rich, toasty, and bready malt profile. The aroma is distinguished by a floral and slightly spicy Saaz hop character over a clean, cold-fermented lager profile free of esters or diacetyl.
Taste. Initial impression is of soft, elegant malt complexity with flavors of toasted bread crust. A firm hop bitterness provides balance, ensuring the malt does not become cloying. Floral hop flavors are present through the mid-palate, leading to a crisp, dry, and clean finish with a lingering toasty aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to moderately high carbonation that enhances its refreshing qualities. The texture is smooth and slightly creamy, with no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.

We are a small lager brewery
We specialize in producing distinctive all-malt lager and other German and Czech style beers. We use only the finest, most appropriate malts, hops, water and yeast in our beers. While our lagers are similar to those made in Germany and the Czech Republic, they are our own unique interpretation of the style.
Lager beers are fermented at lower temperatures than ale, using yeast that has adapted to cooler fermentations. Low temperature fermentations create fewer “yeasty” aromas, esters, and flavors that are so common in ales. We brew lagers because we enjoy their smooth malty and hoppy character.
We take no short-cuts in our beer making
This means using the best possible ingredients, from German malt and German, Czech, and Oregon hops, to McMinnville’s naturally soft water. We use a German-style step-mashing process that allows us to reduce the protein content of our beer, that when combined with long, low temperature lagering, results in maltier and naturally clearer beer without filtering.
Our beers are conditioned in the fermenter, and canned without filtration. This creates a finer ‘bead’ (smaller bubbles) and a smoother texture, but means that there may be a little bit of yeast left in the bottom of the can.

The Viennese made several versions of their amber lagers. Beside their standard Vienna, they made a lower gravity (alcohol) version they called Abzug. Abzug means “discount” or “reduction” in German. In 1900, Abzug made by various breweries made up over half of all the beer consumed in Austria. Our recipe is comprised of roughly equal amounts Vienna, floor-malted Bohemian Pilsner and floor-malted Bohemian Dark base malts and is hopped with Czech Saaz hops. The beer is a light amber color. It has a nice Saaz hop and malt aroma, and is balanced on the palate, with a flavor that belies its 4.1% ABV, and a crisp finish. A truly sessionable beer!
