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.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Clear light amber. Nicely solid just off white foam stays the course. Nutty bready herbal soft spicy malts and grassy leafy nettle leaf like hop. Taste is nutty and sweet with mulch like bitterness. Good body stays sinkable throughout. Spicy hop finish with a light dry bitterness. Solid tackle.

Das Glas erstrahlt in hellem, glänzenden Goldgelb. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone wirkt dabei flaumig und gut haltbar. Die Duftaromen halten sich sehr zurück und lassen sehr zarte, weißbrotartige Malznoten erahnen. Der Antrunk kommt sehr frisch, angenehm rezent und zart süßlich, getreidig bis weißbrotartig hellmalzig. Das Mundgefühl wird von einem leichten Körper mit angenehmer Rezenz, sehr leichter Textur und sehr zarter Trockenheit geprägt. Auf Zunge und Gaumen darf man kein großes Feuerwerk erwarten. Zarte, helle, getreidige bis weißbrotartige Malznoten vereinen sich mit noch zarteren, heuig-herbalen Hopfennoten. Auch wenn sich aromatisch relativ wenig tut, muss man doch festhalten, dass man ein sehr harmonisches, rundes und vor allem fehlerfreies Bier vor sich hat - und das ist, in Anbetracht der Filigranität dieses Bieres, durchaus sehr positiv zu bewerten! Es passt alles perfekt zusammen! Sehr leichte Malznoten, zarte Hopfung, angenehme Karbonisierung, ... und das führt letztendlich auch zu einer sehr guten Drinkability. Im Nachtrunk bleibt die malzige Aromatik für eine kurze Zeit stehen und weicht einer zarten, leicht trockenen, heuig-herbalen Hopfenherbe.

Dorada casi limpia. Espuma blanca de poca retención. Aroma a pan tierno. En boca pasa muy facil, muy bien de gas, refrescante. Tono agradablemente dulce, de notas ligeramente florales. Amargor moderado. Mas seca al final. Rica.

Bottle, not sure if from Fil or Ryan. Muddy light red-brown body, lasting off-white head. Cooked fruit, floral notes, and some caramel in the aroma, okay. Sweetish taste, bit phenolic, lightly herbal, somewhat floral, a buncha dried fruit. Old.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Clear straw gold. Slim lacing lasting white foam. Herbal hop leaf and grass clippings on top of semi sweet brioche malts. Super fresh bright and clean with notable hop bitterness. Crisp just about dry finish. Great pils on the bitter end of the spectrum.
