Description
After 700 years, the Aktienbrauerei is the last representative of the Kaufbeurer brewing tradition that started in 1308 under the name "Zur Goldenen Traube". The brewery has been owned by the Walch family since 1799. At its current location, the beer cellar was built in 1807, and the company was converted into a stock corporation in 1885. This made the Kaufbeuren stock brewery one of the first stock companies in Bavaria. In the second half of the 19th century, the brewery was the most important brewery in the city.

Drunk at Amici in Marktoberdorf. Lightly hazy gold, decent head for an alkfrei. Lightly acidic nose with some yeasty grain notes. Flavor is decently balanced, not too sweet or malty, slight acidity and mild hops. Not a bad alkfrei.

Cloudy deep yellow with a decent off-white head. Old wheat bread, oxidized malt, dried banana, old grassy hop. Obviously out of shape. But still drinkable.

Il gusto al naso viene attratto dall'orzo. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, cracker, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente, erbaceo, agrumi e spezie.

Optisch wunderbar goldgelb und klar. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone zeigt sich flaumig und gut haltbar. Die Duftaromatik überzeugt mit getreidigen bis weißbrotartigen Malznoten. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, angenehm rezent, getreidig bis weißbrotartig malzig und leicht heuig-floral hopfenbitter. Im Mund präsentiert sich ein mäßig voller Körper mit frischer Rezenz, seidiger Textur und leichter Trockenheit. Auf Zunge und Gaumen breitet sich die malzige Aromatik mit Noten von Getreide und Weißbrot aus. Dem entgegen wirkt eine durchaus aromatische, leicht trockene, heuig-florale Hopfenpräsenz, die für eine schöne Ausgewogenheit sorgt und die guten Aromen zusammenhält. So entsteht ein schönes Helles, welchem man einen sehr ehrlichen und bodenständigen Charakter zuschreiben darf. Diese absolut runde Sache spiegelt sich in einer sehr guten Drinkability wieder und man greift immer wieder gerne zum Glas. Im Nachtrunk schwingen die malzigen Noten gemeinsam mit den aromatischen Hopfennoten sehr gut nach und machen nur sehr langsam den Weg für die trockeneren, leicht herben Hopfennoten frei.

Ambarina ligeramente nebulosa, de espuma blanca de retención y tamaño medios. Deja buen lazo. Aroma a malta tostada. Cereal. En boca tiene cuerpo medio, tono oleoso y algo dulce, sabor muy malteado, notas florales y miel. Gas perfecto y amargor moderado. Buena.
