Description
The history of the Hofbräu brewery goes back to the 14th century. The acquisition of the “Prew-Haus” on the town square in 1487 by Peter Turmair is considered to be the birth of the Hofbräu brewery. Josef Neumeyer and his son Joseph run the Hofbräu brewery in the 6th and 7th generation, respectively. The Hofbräu beer is traditionally brewed exclusively from regional raw materials.

"Hofbräu Märzen Spezial", Flasche (MHD: 1/19) direkt von der Brauerei - wohl die einzige Bezugsquelle für deren Biere. - Satt bronzegold, klar. - In der Nase warmes toastiges Malz, zarter Waldhonig und hintergründige hopfenwürzige Orangenherbe, aber auch leicht oxidiert. - Antrunk toastmalzig mit leichter Brotkruste, milder Malzsüße und schwacher, hintergründig herber Orangenschale. Milder rezent, nicht so recht vollmundig, ein wenig schal. Im Abgang nicht unschöne aber matte hopfenwürzige Herbe, dazu metallische Noten. - Leicht enttäuschendes Märzen, das trotz vielversprechender Nase einen flauen Eindruck macht. Ein Fehlexemplar? Direkt aus der Brauerei?

Vielen Dank an ariusz für dieses Bier!
Sehr tolle dunkle Farbe und malzig-trockener Geruch. Der Antrunk ist malzig-süßlich, leicht trocken und zum Hauptteil schon recht karamellmalzig-süß. Der Hauptteil ist recht malzig-karamellig, leicht trocken, mir schon fast einen Tick zu süß. Außerdem macht sich zum Nachgeschmack hin eine leicht alkoholische Note breit, die bei 5% eigentlich nicht vorkommen sollte. Der Nachgeschmack ist mittellang, malzig-karamellig-trocken und eigentlich sehr schön rund.
--> Nettes bayerisches Dunkel!

The bottle looks a bit complex. Beer in the glass fine turbid, huge head. Starts strong, yeasty, not too dry. Fruity like apricot. Well balanced finish, a bit less yeasty. Good hefeweizen!

Bottle looks very simple. Beer in the glass deep golden, small head. Starts hoppy-grasy, a bit moldy-soapy. Finish too unbalanced, some metallically notes. Not my favourite!
