About
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.

Draught at the Gadabout, Leicester. Mid-to dark gold, cloudy with a bit of white head. Bready, yeasty aroma without the normal lovely banana and clove notes you get from Hefeweizens, it's just a bit more chemical. Sweet taste with a touch of banana, touch of bubblegum with a vegetalnote in the finish. I don't mind most ABK Beers, they're not top of the tree but they're decent. However this tastes like AI brewers trying to make a Hefe from downloading 1,000 ratings. Doesn't come together.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours crystal clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Lightly sweet with pleasant doughy biscuits, nips of straw, bread crust. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Tidy finish, mild sweetness, ample biscuity malts and simple bread. A nice easy-drinker.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Clear nut brown, small head. Aroma of tobacco and rye bread, notes of winegums. Dry with light to medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Earthy and toasty. Lightly bitter finish. Harmonious.

Flascherl (333ml): Golden, small head, visible carbonation, clear, moderate to robust grainy-grassy nose; quite solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering and even drier herbal-grassy and slightly alcoholic finish. No glory! More an Imperial Pils than a well balanced Bock...
