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.
