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.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours crystal clear gold with a fluffy, white head. Light to medium sweet flavour with very lightly toasted malts, biscuits, a little honey, straw. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely rounded finish, more sun-kissed biscuits, faintly metallic, impressions of honey and caramel, a little straw. Good and drinkable.

Im Glas findet sich ein sattes Goldgelb, welches schon leicht ins bernsteinfarben geht, mit feiner Perlage. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone zeigt sich flaumig-stabil und sehr gut haltbar. Die Duftaromatik gestaltet sich brotig- bis karamellig-malzig und zart würzig. Im Antrunk fein rezent und süßlich malzig. Der Mittelteil zeigt sich in erster Linie von seiner malzigen Seite. Sehr getreidig, angenehm süßlich mit einem leichten Hauch Karamell. Eine zarte Hopfennote lässt sich ebenso erahnen, hält sich aber nobel zurück. Ein durchaus vollmundiges und süffiges Märzen. Dieses Bier ist wirklich gut und die vorhandene Aromatik ausgezeichnet, könnte aber doch ein bisschen mehr Tiefe haben. Im Abgang zeigt sich dieses Märzen im Grunde von seiner schönsten und vielseitigsten Art und Weise. Der Süße folgt Getreide und dem folgt nach einiger Zeit eine leichte aromatische Herbe.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines Sheffield. Clear orange gold. Fine white head. Nose has malt and caramel. Mulch. Taste is pretty sweet, with low, grassy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Not overly crisp. Moderate carbonation. Minimal bitterness to finish. Overall this feels sweet and a bit flabby.

330ml bottle. Clear, brass colour with average, tick, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Grainy, strawy, minimally spicy, pale malty aroma. Taste is grainy, strawy, pale malty, a touch of popcorn, some bitter hop. Minimally creamy-oily, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine and soft carbonation. Nice mouthfeel, but simple, monotonous, boring.
