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 from Drankenhandel Leiden. Grassy herbal hop with notes of minerals, grain, hint of lemon. Moderate bitter with a dry finish, light bodied but a lot of joy for its mere 2.2% abv.

500ml Bottle - Light amber with a small head. Smoked ham and some malty notes in the aroma. The smoky notes are less evident in the taste as they are balanced with some bready and slightly biscuity notes along with a hint of marmalade.

Unclear amber with a creamy head. Lemon zest, smoke, caramel, slightly resinous, grapefruit, dark bread. Dry zesty bitterness, light smoky umami, some dry sourness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry zesty smoky bitter sourish finish. Tasty and crisp Rauchbier, not that much Rauch character.

T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.

O- A nice smoke flavor that is light enough to allow the base beer through. Good umami flavor without turning into a ham brine. Not enough rauches in the world.

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy orangish golden, stable white head. Aroma: Bread, malty, hints of grass. Taste: Bread, starting malty, moderate sweetness, some grass, hints of toast. Going towards a more hoppy finish, with a nice dry-ish bitterness. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Very nice Märzen.
