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 50 cl. Pours a clear golden with a lacing, white head. Faint wort aroma but also some floral hops. Light body, a dry maltiness with some discreet wort accents and a very decent, finishing hoppiness. Good for the style - and hoppier than your average Helles. 150725

Drucken på flaska på fregatten på Värmhem i Malmö. Bärnstensfärgad klar vätska med medelhögt krämigt skum. Mjuk och len, rejäl matig kropp, bröd, jäst, säd och lätt högt g beska. Fint smakdjup. Gott

From Belgian Style Ales, code of 094P.

Pours a clear light amber plenty of foam, good retention and lacing.

Smell is big grain, brown sugar like sweetness, some roasted notes, no bitterness.

Taste is grain, brown sugar sweetness, roasty, again, no bitterness. Rather different than a lot of Marzens that I have had. Older sample? Still is very pleasant.

Medium bodied light with the carbonation, I'd drink this again.
