Josef Pfeffer, the brother of the brewery founder Wolfgang Pfeffer, brewed a strong beer in the 20s of the 20th century, which became known far beyond the borders of Zwiesel under the name “Arber Spezial”. The new Arber special, originally brewed after Josef Pfeffer, is intended to commemorate this time.

German description:
Das Arber Spezial schmeckt durch den charakteristischen Malzkörper und einer ausgewogenen, leicht bitteren Hopfen-Note vollmundig, würzig und rund.
Dadurch wird es zu einem sehr süffigen Bier, das in geselliger Runde gerne getrunken wird.

In den 20er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts braute Josef Pfeffer, der Bruder des Brauereigründers Wolfgang Pfeffer, ein kräftiges Bier, das unter dem Namen Arber Spezial weit über die Grenzen Zwiesels bekannt wurde.

Das heutige Arber Spezial, original nach Josef Pfeffer eingebraut, soll an diese Zeit erinnern.

Stammwürze: 13,5%

Bottle. Clear dark yellow/gold sporting an ok white head. Aroma of grains, malts, minerals and some earthy hops. Taste of malts, grains, butter, metal, minerals and earthy and spicy hops. Moderate bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Alright but not that convincing.

Bottle, huge thanks Kuba for sharing! GOlden body, off white head. Sweetish malty aroma, light... er... coconut? Woody maybe. Sweet, lean malty taste, apple notes... meh... Not my type.

Bottle picked up from Appel Getränkemarkt, Moosburg and consumed at home Monday 17th May 2021 we are cooking Spätzle for tea tonight. Listening to Tom Ravenscroft covering for Steve Lamaq on 6Music. Pours warm gold with a white head, excellent clarity. Sweet, grainy with an very tiptoeing bitterness, light fruity edge, very light, hop action or more accurately hop inaction leads little to be desired. All told this is a tad sweet and dull.
