The last of my reviews on out of date beers from this brewery.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.
