Weißbier Dunkel from Brauerei Hummel
21 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Olive-shot brown beer, muddy; off-white thick head. Sweet, dark malts, more chestnut flour, some molasses. Sourish taste, very wheaty and ending banana/fruit sweet. Excellent balance, some cloves, and in the finish... hemp? Quite refreshing, medium bodied, sourish tang. Another superb beer - good Dunkel Weizen. The Hummel brewery is a MUST.

Pils from Brauerei Hummel

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Draught Very clear gold; snow-white head, collapsing and leaving lace. Very malty, pale malts, cookie malts, faraway grass. Very malty for a Pilsner, ends "feinherb" all the same - Joss calls it a Helles rather than a Pilsner. Hoppiness comes up in the palate, herbal. Dry MF, light bodied, reasonably refreshing. Good Pilsener or Helles, whatever. It is hoppy enough to distinguish it from the Vollbier.

Festbier Dunkel from Brauerei Hummel

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draught Clear amber; good yellowish head, fed by fine carbonation. Malty nose, some traces of rincing solution; sweet worts. Sweet, but nice cake-taste, ends off in a more hoppy style. Well-bodied, not heavy, long hoppy aftertaste. Good Fest beer, malty version.

Weißbier Hell from Brauerei Hummel

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draught Hazy peach orange colour; good, very white head. Banana nose and lots of clove, sweet white wood (not liquorice). Sweetish, fruity (but difficult to say what), and a truckload of fresh cloves, ending bitterish. Eugenol, clovesgum. Medium bodied, typical wheat slickness. Just a tad too clovey for me, like X-mas perfume, Joss says. But nice all the same.

Kellerbier from Brauerei Hummel

8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9
Draught Served in Stein , good head, not stable. Earthy notes, good bit of malt, wet dog. Earthy, malty and a truckload of good German hops. Just unbelievable great - BEERtaste. Light but nowhere watery, exactly right for drinking from a Maß. Long bitterish-hoppy aftertaste. A SUPERB Kellerbier - beer at its best, outstanding. Drinking this in the great company of Joss, Beerboy and my wife under a sunny sky no doubt helps me admiring it, but the fact remains that this is the first beer that I’ve ever bought a keg of - in my entire life.

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
Draught Clear chestnut brown; very huge built-up creamy head. Woody and smoked, treebranches covered with moss, oak/beechwood, mildly smoked ham aromas. Mild smoked, very malty, and - is it the colour suggesting? - chestnut flour with a bitterish finish. Very good, mild Rauchbier. Medium bodied, oily film in the mouth. Another excellent Rauchbier, in the style of the Rauchzart from Barnikel.

Shared a bottle with jerohen. Aroma is nicely smoked, but it’s just too flat in taste. It tastes like a pilsener with smoked taste, but not in balance. --- Beer merged from original tick of Räucherla Märzen on 14 Aug 2019 at 14:55 - Score: 7.

Cloudy golden color, big head. Aroma of yeast and wheat, bit dry, some banana. Taste is quite sweet, bit milky indeed. Nothing special about this one.

Heller Maibock from Brauerei Hummel

5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
Bottle (bought at Vroni’s, Bamberg, Franconia) Deep golden colour, thin but lasting white head; quite alcoholic nose with a tinge of maltiness; sweet malty beginning, thin malty flavour, ending quickly dryer an bitter; only medium bodied and not very well rounded, kind of unharmonic with too dominant alcohol. Disappointing !
