About
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.

(bottle, with many thanks to pivnizub) Clear golden colour with a mid-sized white foam. Slightly dusty and sweet malty aroma with dense notes of herbal hops and alcohol. Moderate sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Malty taste with notes of DMS and a light hoppy background; rather dry, bitter and slighty hoppy finish. Okay but not much more.

(bottle, from pivnizub – thanks !) Clear, amber colour with a rocky, slightly off-white foamy white head. Light sweet toasty, malty aroma with caramel and earthy, herbal hops. Bittersweet flavour, light to medium body, moderate carbonation. Slightly sweet malty base, slightly toasted with a touch of caramel; light bitter and herbal hoppy finish. As it is filtered, I would call it a malt-accented Landbier, and a good one.

(bottle, a present from pivnizub – thanks !) Clear copper colour with a medium sized foamy beige head. Slightly woody, subtle sweet beechwood smoke aroma. Light sweet flavour, soft smoked malty taste, light to medium body, smooth carbonated mouthfeel; medium dry, malty and smoky finish with a light bitter hoppy blend and an aromatic lasting smoky aftertaste. This one has its height on the palate and during the finish.

Cloudy golden color, large off-white head. Aroma of banana, wheat, some citrus. Taste is too sweet for a weizen of my liking, not enough banana and citrus. Thick and sticky.

Swing-top bottle (bought at the brewery): Golden coloured, small head, quickly diminishing; faint sweet-malty nose, toasted bread, too combined with a mixture of alcohol and bitterness; bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, low carbonation; only a bit of sweetness in the mainly bitter, dry malty finish. A pleasant dry franconian Bock

Bei einem als Winterbier gekennzeichnetem Bier erwarte ich irgendwie einen etwas höheren Alkoholgehalt. Mit 5,2% schwebt dieses Weizen im normalen Rahmen. Vom fruchtigen Antrunk des CO2 armen Bieres baut sich ein säuerliches Aroma auf, das sich zusammen mit einem würzigen Touch im Mittelteil entlädt. Im Abgang etwas hopfig-herb, der einzige Teil des Bieres, der mir wirklich Freude bereitet. Test vom 6.4.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 13,6,6,8,9,7 - 7,55

Mild rauchiger Antrunk mit wenig Herbe. Die Rauchigkeit wird nicht stärker sondern verharrt auf seinem milden, gerade noch erkennbarem niveau. Süffig, mild, im Abgang wird die rauchige komponente durch eine aufkommende Süße in den Vordergrund gestellt. 7/8/8/9//8

An unclear orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet wheaty combined with notes of banana, while the flavor is plainly sweet wheaty.

Das Bier riecht malzig-würzig aber auch alkoholisch. Zu dem würzigen Aroma im Antrunk gesellt sich im Mittelteil noch eine dezente Süße und ein kräftiges malziges Aroma. Im Nachgeschmack ist es zwar noch leicht röstmalzern, sonst aber extrem wässrig und nicht gelungen. Ansonsten ist das Bier recht süffig und nicht zu verachten, was sich der Braumeister bei dem Nachgeschmack gedacht hat steht allerdings in den Sternen. Test vom 19.1.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,10,12,6,8,10 - 9,60

Der Geruch ist fruchtig-säuerlich, der Antrunk lasch fruchtig, erinnert zusammen mit dem langweiligen Mittelteil eher an Spülwasser oder gepantschten Tee. Ebenso lasch und wässrig ist der Nachgeschmack. Nach dem Trinken fragt man sich: War da was? Test vom 29.12.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,5,11,3,8,5 - 6,15
