Description
The first references to a brewery in the Weltenburg Monastery are to be found in the Weltenburg Nekrologium, in which it states that the master brewer died. Another scientifically recognized source is a recorded entry in the “Libellus Traditionum”, which is over 900 years old, and which dates from shortly before or after 1050.
In the barely millennium to the present day, monastic beer production in Weltenburg was only interrupted by the secularization from 1803 to 1846. In 1846 the brewery became monastery property again, and it has remained there to this day. The Weltenburg monastery brewery can therefore rightly be called the oldest monastery brewery in the world.

Bottle. Clear pale gold sporting a big bold and beautiful white head. Aroma of grains, spicy and earthy hops. Taste of grains, bread, cracker, minerals and spicy noble hops. Rather strong bitterness for the style. Strong carbonation. Not as full and harmonious as I hoped for but still good.

Weltenburger Kloster Alkoholfrei, Flasche von Getränke Hoffmann, Berlin. - Satt goldgelb, blank. - In der Nase die typische, schwach traubenzuckrige Süße eines Alkoholfreien, grundiert von sehr milder Hopfung, wie sie typisch für ein Helles ist. - Antrunk weich süßlich und von blasser Hellmalzigkeit, die bald einer sehr feinen zitrusfruchtig-grasigen Hopfung weicht. Gut rezent, angenehm trocken. Im Abgang nur schwach aber doch ausreichend hopfenherb. - Wie alle Alkoholfreien zunächst gewöhnungsbedürftig, anders als die meisten Alkoholfreien entfaltet es aber beim Wärmerwerden seinen ganzen aromatischen Reiz. Empfehlenswert! (21.3.2024.)

Escanciada en jarra, color oro ligeramente ambarino, espuma blanca esponjosa y abundante de buena retención. Aroma sutil y discreto a malta y un ligero toque de caramelo. En boca es de cuerpo ligero, refrescante, trago largo, medianamente dulce con final ligeramente amargo, notas de malta, cereal, caramelo...y una cierta nota metálica y oxidada al final del trago que sin ser excesiva me es imposible de ignorar. En cualquier caso una cerveza aceptable

Escanciada y degustada en jarra, color marrón oscuro, rojo al trasluz, espuma beige fina, cremosa y bien conservada. Aroma a malta tostada, pan negro, caramelo, fruta pasificada, chocolate con leche. En boca es sedosa, densa, los sabores replican perfectamente las notas aromáticas. De dulzor medio, terminando con bajo amargor y regusto ligerísimamente tostado, muy equilibrado, excelente a la par que sencillo. Gran cerveza, una doppelbock excelente.

Taste has also grainy and caramel elements with sweetness, soft but present hop bitterness. Mid carbonated. Nice tasty easy drinker
