Traditionell wie die Schwäbisch-Alemannische Fasnet kommt auch unsere Hopfensau jedes Jahr zu Beginn der fünften Jahreszeit daher. Bei der Ernte des Tettnanger Hopfens bekam derjenige, der die letzte Hopfenranke pflückte, den Ehrentitel "Hopfensau" verliehen. Auch heute noch lebt diese Tradition in einer eigenen Narrenfigur in der Tettnanger Fasnacht weiter, mit einem Unterschied: Die Hopfensau aus Wurmlingen ist für jeden Biergenießer da.

Mild hopfig-säuerlicher Antrunk mit malzigem Unterton. Der Hopfen ist erst im Mittelteil stärker erkennbar, bleibt meiner Meinung nach aber recht mild. Etwas würziger und auch malziger werdend, die Hopfigkeit überdeckt dies etwas. Grasig-würziger Abgang, leicht herb werdend, etwas süßlich. Nett, aber nicht mehr. Danke an quack-duck für das Bier. Test vom 12.8.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,9,9,10,11,9 - 9,35

Bügelverschlußflasche: Deep golden to light amber coloured, big fluffy off-white head; buttery, caramelly, a bit yeasty nose with spicy herbal hops in the backyard; light sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied, mellow MF; finishes a bit buttery, again, but mainly malty with a delicate illusion of hops in the aftertaste. Not bad, but lacks more hops...........

(swing top bottle, with special thanks to quack-duck for the sample!) colour with a fluffy and stable, slightly off-white head, slowly lacing. Sweet toast-malty aroma with distinctive notes of butterscotch with a touch of caramel and light herbal hops. Sweet, slightly bitter flavour, medium body with an almost crispy carbonation. Toast-malty, slightly buttery taste with caramel and shy herbal notes; medium-dry, moderately sweet malty and slightly herbal hoppy finish with butterscotch in the aftertaste. According its name I expected more hop character, but it is a pleasant and quaffable brew.
