Description
Johann Gottfried Glauner decided in 1877 to put the local, closed-down brewery, back on its feet. He sent his son, Karl Albert, to Weihenstephan to learn the skills of beer brewing. Karl returned in 1880 as a master of his trade and with all the energy of his young years, determined to brew "the best beer far and wide". It was indeed a beer destined to outlive its numerous local competitors. To this day the Alpirsbacher beers have lost nothing of their popularity... and the Glauner family continues to brew their excellent beer in Alpirsbach in the fourth generation.

Clear gold blond beer, small creamy off-white head, a little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty start, grains, hay, slightly nutty, some pears. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: malty start, gentle bitterness, some caramel, a hint of ripe banana. Aftertaste: bit sweet up front, some pears, slightly bitter, some caramel, pleasant malt bill, almost floral in the finish, nice stuff!

0,5 l bottle from Erzengel. Thanks a lot! Golden in the glass, darker than expected with a more than one finger white foamy head. Looks good. Smooth grainy caramel on the nose. Taste starts malty carmel, little bit apple fruity in the background. Mid bitterness. Mid carbonation. Easy drinker.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Starts mild, malty, modest dry. A bit moldy. Some hints of spices, some grasy notes as well. Finish more balanced. Okay.

7/VIII/25 - on tap (or did they pour from a bottle?), shared @ Feierling Inselhopf (Freiburg, DE) Schwarzwald holiday, BB: n/a (2025-758)

Cloudy yellow blond beer, big solid creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: wort, yeasty, floral notes, quite some bubble gum, a hint of ripe banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of band-aid, very chemical, very unpleasant, pretty bad, floral touch as well, yeasty. Aftertaste: more yeast, a little bitter, quite a lot of band-aid still, chemical touch, sugary, sweet, some almonds, don’t like it at all, didn’t finish even half of the glass between the two of us.
