Description
In 1758 the first master brewer, Peter Still from Fischbach, was able to start work on the Hammersee. In 1804 the Electorate of Bavaria decided to privatize the brewery. In 1884 Johann Baptist Jacob, great-grandfather of the current generation of owners, Marcus and Friedrich Jacob, acquired the company. The next two generations Jacob (each with first name Friedrich) took over his pioneering spirit and the iron will to keep the company up to date for the benefit of quality and employees. The continuation of the family tradition is assured even today. For the future, the next generation of Jacob is ready to successfully carry the centuries-old values into the fifth generation.

On tap at The Green Goddess, Blackheath Royal Standard. Aromas of banana pudding, vanilla, touch of sweet citrus. Taste is a fair mix of the above. Tasty wheat beer.

0,5l, bottle.
Honestly, I wouldn't even call this beer a Hefe. Only slightly cloudy, low carbonation, medium white head. Body and finish is average, or slightly worse. I really wanted to drink a good, cold Hefe today.. :(

Vielen Dank für diese Flasche an meine Freunde Fiene und Marcel, die dieses Bier wiederum von ihren Freunden besorgt haben! Sieht schlicht aus, aber nicht schlecht. Bier im Glas mit wenig Schaum, fein würziges Aroma. Startet mild, fein malzig, würzig. Grasiger Akzent im Hintergrund. Leicht säuerlich. Abgang erinnert ein klein wenig an Butterkeks. Finish harmonischer, würzig-malzig. Sehr süffig. Gut!

0.5l bottle, thx FIl for sharing! Clear deep golden body, lasting thick off-white head. Odd but not unpleasant white grape aroma, bit caramelly and woody, sweetish. Lean, dry taste, light wood and light light light white grape touch. Solid!

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice head. Starts mild, soft-malty, shy roasty notes. Mild bitter background. Not too sweet. Finish well balanced, again soft-malty. Shy chocolate. Nice!
