Another wartime Heineken recipe. A beautifully watery one. But isn't low-alcohol beer all the rage?

Heineken’s other Lagerbier suffered the same gravity reduction as its paler sibling. Down to the waste of time drinking level.

A lot has been going on with the grist. First, there’ the placement, as with all their beers, of some of the malt by sugar. The quantity of caraamber has declined a little, that of caramel malt almost doubled along with a massive increase in the amount of carafe. The latter change I’m sure being to maintain the colour after the addition of so much sugar.

Unlike the pale version, dark Lagerbier has had its hopping rate cut, reducing the (calculated) IBUs from 14 to 12. Bugger all, really, even for a beer this watery. The hops were the same “SuK” from the 1940 season is in the pale version.
