Hurbanova Brewery, Slovakia
5.0% Lager
Kind of a careful lager — always does the speed limit and files its taxes on time. Not complex and a little on the sweet side. Smells boozier and hoppier than it tastes, but goes down easy.
Where to drink it: A nice afternoon-spent-reading-in-the-living-room-while-listening-to-records beer.
Pairing: With rich food due to its mild nature, if that’s what you’re looking for. Could see it with roast pork or bratwurst
