Beard beer is brewed with a yeast created from Brewmaster John Maier’s beard. No need to freak out, brewers have used wild yeasts in beer making for centuries. John has had the same old growth beard since 1978 and for over 15,000 brews, so it is no great surprise that a natural yeast ideal for brewing was discovered in his beard. What does beard beer taste like? try it, we think you’ll be surprised...

Bottle. Yes, I drank it and it was good. Amber in color with a medium head. Aroma was roasted grains with hints of tree fruit. Taste is slightly sweet upfront. Nice tasty balance that’s better than you could imagine.

Earthy aroma of sweet grains, ripe fruits, manly yeast, hops, some spicy notes. Just a little bit of funk in there too. Flavour is sweet malts and sweet fruits, with a dry finish. Actually nice, a bit Saison-like.

Bottle. Golden color. Tangerine and pricot in the aroma. Malty flavor. The slightest hint of salt. Fruity. Citrus and peach. Floral notes. Not unpleasant.

10-02-18 // bottle shared. Purchased at Getränke Stumpf. Light hazy golden orange, small white head. Nose of mild fruity yeastyness. Aroma is dry malty with good yeast character delivering a peachy bready fruitiness. Great drinkability, smooth.

Das ist ja mal ne sehr außergewöhnliche Geschichte. Schauen wir mal, ob sich die Barthefe bezahlt macht. In der Nase sehr fruchtig, Pfirsich. Im Trunk malzig, fruchtige Süße, Obstkuchen, leicht brotig, unfassbar süffig. Da könnte ich direkt einen Kasten nehmen. Super Ding! Hohe Drinkability.
