Süß-säuerlicher Beginn mit dezenten Fruchtnoten. Hellmalzig, die Fruchtigkeit wird intensiver, würzig-malzig. Dann leicht alkoholisch, rund. Würziger werdend, belgische Hefenoten, süffig. Schwer zu deutender Doppelbock, der sich im Nachgeschmack noch am ehesten wie einer verhält- 10/11/12/12/12/12

INteresting! Instead of the expected dark roast flavor, you are greeted with a fruity nose (apricots?). Beautiful hazy copper/orange color, with light and airy head. If this was poured blind, I’d swear it was Belgian. A very different doppelbock from the Rheinland, and brewed in accordance with the Rienheitsgebot. Nice!

The last of my reviews on out of date beers from this brewery. All 3 of their beers (including this one) are 5.2%. Brown flip-top half litre bottle should have been drank before 20th Aug 2007, it was drunk today, 12th Sept 2007. Poured into my old half litre Schultheiss glass from Berlin. Great ruby red colour, the huge head of biege bubbles was so large I couldn’t get all the beer into my glass. The beer was not cloudy by any means but it wasn’t crystal clear either. The aroma was of half burnt chocolate malts and yeast. It tastes like an Dusseldorfer Alt more than a lager to me, the label gives no hint. I like it, whatever the true style is. The burntness in the aroma isn’t in the taste, dry caramel without the sweetness is what I pick up. The mouthfeel is good, the beer and mouth goes dry, then more dry as you make your body wait for the next mouthful. A very nice beer, this little brewery will be getting another visit from me.

Bought when in date, forgot to drink it before 12th August 2007. Drank today, 11th September 2007. Poured into one of my Franziskaner Weissbier glasses. Looks a true old style Weizen, really cloudy with that orange-cum-grapefruit-lemony-yellow colour. A fine well formed foaming head above. I thought I remembered a powerful banana and vanilla aroma from my draught one at the brewery, this bottle did not have the same richness to it. Yeast was the main aroma at first, then the aforementioned smells began to assert themselves. A throw back in time, this is a wiezen with all the old attributes, the taste is sharp, refreshing and has a tartiness the mass produced ones don’t seem to have. I have had a fair few in my time, so I like to think I know what I am on about. Good retension of flavours, this is a well brewed beer, the brewer got this just about perfect. As above, a very good example of a weizen, I will be having this again, hopefully in date and draught at the brewery.

From BA: Sept 2007. I bought two brown flip-top bottles (half-litres) on my visit in June 2007. I knew they would have a short life because of the set-up of the brewery, but I forgot to check and log the ’best before dates’ on my return to the UK. The bottles I am reviewing should have been drunk before 25th July 2007, I drank them today, 10th Sept 2007. Poured into my Berliner Kindl half-litre sleeve glass. I had this draught at the brewery, so knew it was going to be very cloudly. The colour is a dull orange with a good firm white head, not pure white, but whiter than biege. The aroma is of yeast and light malts, hops too. Not a lot of power in any of the smells though. The sharpness I remembered from the fresh draught beer had gone, but the sour refreshing taste was still evident, dry and bitter. This is a fine tasting beer. The sourness stays in the mouth, as does the dry bitter taste. What a pity I am not drinking this on a warm summers day on the banks of the river Mosel, but in damp old England. Obviously the freshness isn’t in the beer anymore, but it was still very drinkable and I will re-review this beer if I get the chance to do so with an indate bottle, or draught at the brewhouse.

Heller Beginn mit leicht malzigen Noten, recht langweilig. Wenig herb, süffig, geringfügig nach Hopfen. Naja... 8/6/6/5/11/5
