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.

Christmas toffee! Very happy to find this on gravity. My new favorite from the brewery, whose name means garlic as far as I can tell.

Golden or the slightest bit darker, clear looks. Average sized white head, quite good retention and a bit of lacing. Aroma: fresh/fragrant crackery malts, very light sweetish notes of honey, a hint of slightly citric fruitiness, a relatively intense (per style) clean grassy feel. A pretty simple aroma, not especially intense, but feels quite fragrant and refreshing. Taste notes follow the aroma closely: again, average taste intensity, a pretty nice refreshing feel and a delicate fragrant/crackery touch. Quite light in both sweetness and bitterness, very delicate and nicely balanced, very clean. Nice mouthfeel: quite light in body, light to medium, delicate, fine-bubbled carbonation; feels very smooth with a hint of crispness. Overall: a very classic, straightforward helles, maybe even simpler than other examples; very well crafted though and overall a very good example of the style.

(Keg at Pikkulintu Puotila, 20241215) The beer poured deep golden and lightly hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had honey, grass, grain and mildly alcohols. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, grain, honey, light sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. Pleasant.

Tap. Semi-clear golden pour with an extra tick white cap. Nose is grassy hoppy, hints of malt. Mouthfeel is perfectly balanced, oily malty texture, clean, bitterness is firm but not invasive.
