Augsburger Herren Pils

Augsburg looks back on a rich city history. One jewel of Augsburg's history is the Purity Law of Frederick I Barbarossa. When the emperor declared Augsburg a city in the Middle Ages, the monarch passed a variety of different regulations and laws. Among the legal ordinances for the new city was a paragraph concerning beer production. Barbarossa wanted to improve the quality of beer in the city and imposed a fine on all brewers of bad beer.

The Riegele brewery in Augsburg harks back to this time of the finest beers and brews a beer in honor of Barbarossa that would also have pleased the medieval aldermen of their city. The Augsburg Herrenpils is the brewery's bitterest creation and is triple-hopped with aroma hops. At a drinking temperature of six degrees, the fine, tart aroma unfolds particularly well. The classic beer flows into the glass in a shiny light gold color and is crowned with a stately crown of snow-white foam. A seductive bouquet of freshly mown grass, floral hops and tangy lemon invites you to take your first sip. The beer delights with a malty first taste: soft cereal notes meet flowery hops, fresh fruit impressions, herbal notes and exotic lemongrass as you drink. The true art of this beer lies in the subtly balanced bitterness, which skillfully complements the aroma and gives the beer depth and contrast.
