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.

Grassy, dry, moreish.
Bottle
Light green-golden, low visible carbonation, big whipped cream head. Quite aromatic hop and subtly buttery yeast aroma. Blast of herbal and grassy bittering hops on top of a layer of slightly fruity straw malt. Carried away by dry grassy bitterness again far into the aftertaste. Sparkly fresh mouthfeel.

Clear orange color, medium head. Aroma is hoppy, caramel malty, with a hint of smoke maybe. Bitter and malty taste, nicely balanced. Full taste and palate.

The aroma is slightly smoked, sweet and sour with some notes of beef jerkey. The color is a hazy amber and it has a fine but disappearing head. The flavor is fantastic of smoke, malt, beef jerkey, and hops with a dry woody end. A really good beer.
