Ocean Gourmet
A wonderfully tasty and hoppy lager.
Ocean Beer’s Gourmet is an innovative, hoppy lager brewed in the north of the historic Lower Lusatia in the Neuzeller Kloster Brewery, Germany. Processes and craftmanship employed by the brewery were passed down from the original brewer monks from Kloster Abbey. Based on expert techniques, perfected through the years using traditional kettles and open fermentation tanks, Ocean Gourmet offers a premium drinking experience. A singular combination of highest quality hops to give an elegant drinking experience for the most demanding beer lovers.
Production Process
Ocean Gourmet is a bottom-fermented beer brewed with three barley malts and four selected natural hops. The long fermentation process is done without pressure in open tanks, just as the Cistercian monks of Eastern Germany originally did. After fermentation, a slight dry – hopping is done, to give the identifiable aroma and the elegant taste of a unique hoppy lager. The process finishes with a long maturation time to eliminate the by-products of yeast growth, to develop natural stability and to guarantee the harmony of our beer.
Tasting Notes
Ocean Gourmet is a bright, toasted, golden beer with a light, nutty aroma. Full bodied, with a pleasant mouthfeel and a very soft, slightly bitter aftertaste. Ocean Gourmet is refreshing, elegant and easy to drink. This unique Pils with its fine dry taste is simply exquisite.
“Elegant appearance with stable foam crown above a toasted, golden coloured beer of crystal clean transparency. Moderate hay aroma, mild pine with floral undertones and, a touch of tropical mango, blueberry and a slight touch of lime and hazelnuts.
In the mouth it is well bodied with a full malty flavour on the palate. Smooth and silky, with a very mild bitterness in harmony with a balanced floral honey sweetness. A gentle saline twist at the end, very similar to the other Ocean Beer family members”
