Description
Centuries of brewing tradition, the best ingredients and strict compliance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 are quality that you can taste with every sip! The Rittmayer Brewery is one of the oldest breweries in Forchheimer Land. The family business dates back to 1422. The brewery even received its own coat of arms certificate from the Count of Kulmbach because of its good beer.

In spring 2012, our new brewery on the outskirts of Hallerndorf went into operation right next to our filling center. It is one of the most innovative medium-sized breweries in all of Germany.

Clear golden with a foamy head. Lots of hay, grain, grass, some metal, lard. Metallic bitterness, grainy sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft to lively carbonated, dry metallic grainy bittersweet finish. An average Helles, not the Rittmayer quality you would expect.

On tap at Rittmayer keller Kreuzberg. Amber colour lasting white head. Quite sweet. I mean a 6.8.% beer for €3.50 is amazing. Boozy. Dried fruits. Sweet dried sprouts and plums yes like yellow plums. Sweet. Some hops on the finish g8ve a dryness. Fig. Its both wonderful in that this would get you drunk quickly and cheaply. Like a box of dessert fruits. Rich. Its good though. Interesting. I liked the fruits tangerine, citrus crystallised fruits. Light grapefruit. Never too malty. Its a heller bock. Good fun. A bit of a sipper in a world of kellerbier

Bottle from a Kalea box from.one of the German supermarkets like. Clear copper gold. Thick foamy white head. Aroma ia sweet and malt dominated with some citrus and a grainy/metallic edge. Flavourwise it's initially more tangy sour. Slightly tart. The followed by doughy sweet malts. Gets noticeably metallic into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick with a hint of oil. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice.
