Tempest Brewing Co

Tempest Brewing Co.’s Schlager captures the festive spirit of a modern Festbier with a focus on elegant drinkability. Fermented with pure Bavarian yeast, the profile is exceptionally clean, allowing the sweet malts to take center stage with rich notes of bread dough and a light toastiness. A whirlpool infusion of nu-German hops contributes a delicate layer of floral and herbal aromatics that balance the malt-forward core. This golden lager pours with a massive, persistent white foam head, leading into a smooth, creamy texture that feels substantial yet refreshing. It finishes crisp and inviting, embodying the classic German festival character with refined Scottish craftsmanship.

Appearance. Deep gold (approximately 5 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Topped by a dense, persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate malty richness featuring toasty-doughy aromatics and a soft impression of sweetness. Low floral and spicy hop character from the nu-German varieties. Clean lager fermentation profile with no perceptible esters or phenols.

Taste. Initial impression of medium-high bready and doughy malt flavor with lightly toasty hints. Bitterness is medium-low and supportive, ensuring the balance remains malty. Nu-German hops provide a medium-low herbal and spicy flavor. The finish is flavorful and malty, yet crisp and well-attenuated without being dry.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, notably creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a refreshing lift. Alcohol warmth is negligible, reflecting its sessionable 5.3% strength.
