Description
Die Geschichte der Altenmünster Brauer Biere ist von Anfang an geprägt vom Anspruch, besondere Spezialitäten von einzigartigem Charakter zu brauen. Um sie dann in hochwertigen Bügelflaschen mit einzigartigem Relief anzubieten – übrigens als eine der ersten Brauereien in Deutschland.

Originally the Sailerbrauerei was mentioned in a document for the first time in 1544. After a long history 1967 is considered to be the decisive point in the history of the brewery. In that year the master brewer Gerd Borges and his then wife Gertrud, née. Sailer took over the management of the brewery and made the brewery a great success. After 36 years Borges decided to sell the enterprise. Since 2003 Sailerbräu and the brand Altenmünster Brauer Biere became through the Allgäuer Brauhaus part of the Radeberger Gruppe.

Had the old, blue labeled, "Jubel" version, bottle at Julios Spring Beer Fest, 4/2/05. Copper-reddish body, with some fiery reddish-orange hues and some light mahogany browns and a good sized, yellow beige head, slight retention. Aroma of sweet caramel and lightly sour yeast, with honey, herbs and light spices (cinnamon and anise). A profound earthy/grainy/breadiness as well. Malted wheat, sweet candied orange, thick, medium body, with not much wateriness. Earthiness on the finish, with plenty of dry breadiness and light alcohol warmth.

Natural and aromatic..... well, from my last experience with Altenmünster lagers, I expected it to be fake and smelly. But, it wasn’t. Still wasn’t too good. Not for the price. Apparently, this was the most expensive beer among the five beers a friend brought from Germany. More expensive than, say, Paulaner Dunkelweizen. Not worth it. It might be because of the bottles, but all Altenmünster beers seem to be far overpriced. Anyway, to the beer. Pale golden, fluffy white head. Aromatic ? Not really. The nose was far from intensive, but kind of pleasant, malt and lemon. Taste ? Again, lemon, and malt, with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Not much body. After I left it to get a bit warmer, something happened. It started smelling malty, but in a disgusting way. I guess those are the "strange emanations" an earlier rater mentioned. The same thing reflected in the taste. So, pleasant while fresh and cold, but not really stable. I drank better.

This was the most expensive pils I ever bought. It wasn’t worth it. Pale yellow colour, huge white head. Some carbonation, but no lacing. Nothing impressive. Smells malty. Tastes malty and lemony, filling maybe. Still nothing impressive. Overall, an average pilsener. Well, the bottle was great looking, with a resealable plastic cork and could make someone uninformed think that they’re buying something great. I always check before buying something, so I wasn’t dissapointed much. By the way, the 2l bottle of this beer is the biggest glass beer bottle I’ve ever seen, and by far the most expensive one. Oh, and it says that it’s brewed by Brauhaus Altenmünster in Marktoberdorf. That makes 2 beers that are listed here under Privatbrauerei Franz Joseph Sailer that say that they are brewed somewhere else. It’s probably a matter of brewery changing name when this one is concerned, but the Oberdorfer Weissbier still puzzles me.

Hopfig-herber Antrunk, würzig. Frisch bitterer Mittelteil, dabei immer wieder hopfige Noten. Dezente Grasigkeit. Die Bitterkeit wird stärker, das Bier bleibt aber süffig. Frisch grasig-bitterer Abgang. Gut! 8/11/11/11/9/11

Bottled. Pale golden, brief head. Sweet and malty with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Fairly low bitterness. Fairly well made, but unadventurous.

A clear brown beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and so is the flavor, but the body is somewhat thin.
