KEUN Kleinbier is a refreshing, top-fermented Blonde Ale designed as a characterful alternative to the standard lager. A foundational blend of Pilsner, Pale, and Wheat malts creates a soft, bready base with a delicate grainy sweetness and a smooth texture. The hop profile is nuanced and well-integrated; Magnum provides a clean, supporting bitterness, while Goldings adds a touch of earthy spice and Cascade contributes bright floral and citrus notes. This easy-drinking beer balances a subtle yeast fruitiness with a crisp, medium-dry finish, making it an approachable and clean showcase of traditional and modern ingredients.
