About
A lightly kilned German Vienna malt from Bestmalz, deeper in colour and flavour than pilsner malt — golden, bready and gently toasted — yet fully self-converting so it can serve as a base malt up to 100%. It is the defining malt of Vienna lagers and a dependable backbone for amber lagers, Märzen and Festbier, adding warmth and a touch of toast without crystal-malt sweetness.
