Dark Lager 2.5 º 14 IBU

Heineken

This Munich Dunkel presents an approachable, low-alcohol take on the dark lager tradition. It opens with a clear, mahogany hue and a modest tan head. The sensory profile is dominated by a gentle malt richness, offering notes of toasted bread crust and light caramel. Despite the low ABV, it maintains a thirst-quenching quality with a signature mild sweetness that softens the finish. A clean fermentation profile ensures no esters or phenols interfere with the bready core. This is a light-bodied, highly sessionable dark lager that emphasizes smooth, malt-forward flavors over bitterness or roasted intensity.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark mahogany with garnet highlights; clear with a creamy, light tan head that shows moderate retention.

Aroma. Moderate intensity of toasted malt, reminiscent of fresh bread crusts and a hint of caramel; clean lager fermentation with no perceptible hop aroma or fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression of mild sweetness followed by soft, bready malt flavors and light toffee notes; restrained bitterness provides a malty balance; finishes clean and thirst-quenching with a lingering malt softness and no roasted or burnt harshness.
