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 draught at Historische Wurstküche in Vilshofen, Germany. This beer is a brownish-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes slowly. Thin patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, brown sugar and a touch of hops. Medium, smooth body with grainy malt, caramel and light hops flavors. The finish is sweet caramel malt with a short toasty aftertaste. Not too shabby overall.

Bottle, 5.3%. Weak chalky aroma. Clear golden colour. Almost no head. The flavour is citric with a little dust or perhaps butter. Has a little citrus/fruit, seems to come from the hops.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts mild, almost a bit washy. The finish is more spicy, a bit wheaty, modest sweet. Not bad!

The bottle looks good, but the colours don’t fit together. The beer in the glass is okay. The beer starts strong, modest yeasty. The finish is more dry and fruity. Not bad!

Bottle. Fresh citrus and clove nose. Cloudy orange, a few yeast floaties, lacing white head. Full fruity entrance, almost the fruitbread of a weizenbock, has the phenols as well, banana stays in the background, spices, a bit vanille - yummy. Fullbodied, light sparkly mouthfeel. Very solid!
