Amstel Oud Bruin

Beer Description

Amstel Oud Bruin is a traditional Dutch dark lager brewed using a bottom-fermentation process and subsequently sweetened with sugar or saccharine to achieve its signature malt-forward, syrup-like profile. Historically, it was produced by filtering the wort a second time to ensure a low-alcohol content, followed by pasteurization to maintain its shelf life.
