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.

330 ml bottle. Cloudy dark orange, fluffy head. Orange peel, some overripe pear, yeast, booze. Fruity yeasty sweetness, slightly dry. Medium bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonated, dry boozy finish. Just alright, but too boozy for just 5.9 abv.

Bottle, mid amber good head. Grainy nose, not much Aroma. Flavor is grainy but watery, not much hops, at least it's not super sweet and wort-y. Slight bit of traditional hops detectable plus some mild acidity.

Pours an almost perfectly transparent pale golden (actually slightly hazy if compared to a filtered helles) with a fluffy but solid white head that shows good retention and very nice lacing. Not very intense but nice, delicate aroma: cereal and white bread base followed by notes of honey and citrus/lemon, with slight hints of grassy and flowery hops. Taste notes as per aroma, with a quite strong per style sweet foundation, perfectly matched by delicate bitterness in a balanced i want another sip right now finish. As for the aroma, it's not about intensity; it's about perfect balance and awesome drinkability. Light bodied with a lively but still soft kind of carbonation, resulting in a super smooth, soft but lively mouthfeel that just adds to drinkability. Tastewise, this will probably not impress you, but it's a perfectly crafted beer that you just wouldn't stop drinking.

Bottle shared with Jacob and Andres prior to their disappearing in the Fasching festivities. Light brown with a fleeting, frothy white head. Aroma of caramel and mixed grains. Taste is mildly sweet, caramel dominating, with a mild and grainy bitterness at the end. Medium bodied, moderate to mild carbonation. Not bad.
