(swing top bottle at the Klosterschänke) Clear pale golden colour with a short foamy white head. Slightly sweet malty aroma with hay and grassy hops. Quite dry malty and bready initial taste, light to medium body, dry malty and grassy hoppy finish. Decent and not very inspiring brew. But the monastery of Eberbach itself is a very special and beautiful place where one can smell almost 1000 years of history; it is also a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. The wines available there are surely much better than the two beers, which are brewed by the Allgäuer Brauhaus. I skipped the Dunkel and headed for the Eltviller Brauhaus a couple of kilometres away (02.04.06).
