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.

Sehr hefiger Geruch. Hefiger und durchaus fruchtiger Antrunk, bananig aber ohne die oft störende Süße. Ein bitterer und säuerlicher Ton erscheint untertönig, kommt aber auch im Nachgeschmack erst zum Einsatz, nachdem die anderen Aromen spürbar abgebaut haben. Der Mittelteil ist etwas milder gestimmt, der hefige Teil bleibt erhalten, ansonsten fehlt hier die Vielfältigkeit des Antrunks. Würziger wird es kurzzeitig im Nachgeschmack, die Süße verschwindet fast vollkommen. Mildes aber vollmundiges Bier! Test vom 18.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,10,9,8,11,9 - 9,10

Fully hazy peach-coloured beer with ochre-shined, very dense head. Banana & ham ("Schinken")rind. Very Weizen-like nose. Banana, cloves, acid wheat, and absolutely nothing to classify it as "Zoigl". Very creamy texture, yeasty MF. No, this is not the real Zoigl. Der Doppelbock sagt es. Er hat recht.
