Description
The Knoblach inn has been in Schammelsdorf since 1880 and it has been brewing there for about this long. Today Michael Knoblach is the resident master brewer. The Knoblachs are deeply rooted in their homeland and maintain good contact with regional suppliers and farmers. They attach great importance to preserving and actively promoting the diversity of the Bamberg region. For this purpose, the raw materials are, as far as possible, bought exclusively from the region. This not only has the advantage of boosting the domestic economy, but is also reflected in the quality. The ingredients couldn't be fresher.

Bottle bought by mail order in Japan. Bright golden orange color with a medium head. Warm malt nose, biscuits, honey, orange and stone fruit. Rich, estery flavor, floral, fruity, bitter. Intense. Great fruit and hops, with malt esters and hops working together nicely. Not in perfect condition, but still excellent.

Bottle bought by mail order in Japan. Pours a bright, clear gold with a low head. Nose is soft malt, lemons, biscuit, honey, a touch of oxidation and a tiny bit of DMS. Crisp, clean malt flavor, and extremely bitter for the style. Nothing like a Munich Helles, but super nice, if not in perfect condition when we got it.

Bärnstensfärgad disig vätska med rejält skumlock. Aromer av bröd, ljus deg och hint av karamell. Lätt kladdig maltighet som snabbt lindas in med en gräsig och höig beska. Antydan av karamell i varje zip och det hela avslutas med en något besk, bitsk smaknot på slutet.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Lagom flavour typical for the style. Slightly murky caramel gold. Good flavour but slightly off balance finish - bit sweet, bit bitter, but not quite harmonious.

100ml draught, 7.2 % abv, at Hopfen+Malz. Crystal clear warm golden body, filmy layer, spotty lacing. Inviting on the nose with caramel malts, mid-dry. Quite tasty with caramel malts, biscuit and a note of leafy hops. On the sweet side of bittersweet ending. Fine bodied. Likable. (Aachen, 26.02.2026).

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice small head. Fine malty spicy aroma. Starts fine malty, spicy, wheaty notes. Mild sweetish hints, not too intense. Shy lemon touch. Finish well balanced, soft malty-spicy. Quite drinkable. Nice one!

Bottle. Clear deep golden. Hay, summer, sweetness, grainy, gummibears. Front heavy, metallic, a bit of an edge to it, oily, bitter. Chewy sweet sticky buttery aftertaste. A tad too sweet for me, too sticky, and not full enough. Drinkable.
