Description
Privately owned since 1809, the Ochsenfurter Kauzen-Bräu stands for traditional Franconian brewing culture. The brewery was not always called Kauzen Bräu. It was not until 1974 that the Ochsenfurt monastery brewery was renamed the Kauzen Brewery.

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a beautiful and stable foamy white head. Sweet and bready pale malt aroma with sour dough and light herbal hops. Moderately sweet flavour with a light but present hoppy bitterness, medium to full bodied with an almost crispy carbonation. Pale malt-character, bready taste with light notes of honey and herbal spice; sweet-bitter finish, malt-accented with a light herbal hoppy note and a fairly well-bound alcohol (01.05.08).

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a steady medium-sized foamy white head. Sweet and distinctively bready malty aroma, slightly doughy with light notes of herbal hops in the background. Light-sweet and mildly bitter flavour, medium bodied with a smooth and pleasant carbonation. All malt flavour, moderately bready with light notes of biscuit; moderately sweet, slightly bitter malt-accented finish with a whiff of herbal hops. Pleasant to drink, but not one of my faves (01.05.08).

Bottle. Primarily aroma of Sprite/7-Up with just a hint of the beer. Medium yellow color with small head. Flavor matches aroma - primarily the lemon soda with just a hint of the Weizen. Slightly smoother than their Radler - a nice summer drink.

Huge, creamy head, retreating with some lace; brown, very hazy beer with orange/mossy highlights. Creamy, nutty, even a bit of cacaopowder. Then banana, fruitacids and peanut-like fatty acids. Sweet, fruity first, drier taste later. Again a bit of arachide, but complementing the flavourprofile rather than disturbing it. Tart-ish banana, wheat, and a bit of cacao powder. Medium bodied, wheat slickness. Remarkedly less carbonated than the other Kauzen beers. Decent, if not exciting Dunkelweizen. Thanks to Ann & her crew!

Medium, fine & dense white head over heavy golden beer with apricot shine. Glue, solvent (or: fusels), esters with especially bananaester. Definitely a lot of chipboard. Taste has again quite a bit of solvent, further fruity esters as banana/orange, but ending on meaty, near smoked esters. In fact, it is what winetasters would call "meaty" - if it had some more beef to its bones. Retronasal a little aroma/flavour of lilies. Quite slick, but also quite thin. Slickness & good carbonation even downplay the thinnish MF. I’m sorry, but I cannot be as jubilant as the other tasters. Boring. Kauzen makes some good brews - but others. Thanks to Ann and her crew!

Good, fluffy, just yellow-tinted head over well-carbonated metallic-golden beer. Vanilla, CO² laden nose, finally turning rather grassy. Hayish, grassy, very - too - discreet Pilsner. Sweeter in the main taste, finishing a bit metallic-bitterish... Dry, near-medium bodied. A rather uninteresting lager beer. Compared to their 1809 Original, this is really unnecessary. Sounds a bit like the Moortgat Bel pils vs. Vedett story... Kult beer indeed!

Huge, very fine & dense yellowish head over well-carbonated orange-golden beer. Glue - and a lot of it - solvent-ish. Some warm malts, very slightly toasted. Slightly sweetish, bready, but again with glue/solvent notes in the taste. Also, toasted, even more outspoken, orange/apricot buns. A bit sharpish MF, slight burning. Medium bodied, quite slick. Some alcohol, but discreet. Decent, but not very exciting Heller Bock. A little less ethyl acetate might have made it quite good... Thanks to Alt Frankie and her crew!
