Das Kerwa-Seidla der Brauerei Hönig, Tiefenellern, Flasche von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. - Für ein Export mit bloßen 5 % arg niedertourig - schaun wir mal, ob sich trotzdem ein Kerwa-typisches Festbier-Gefühl einstellt. - Schönes Kupfergold, klar. - Nase mild toastig-karamellmalzig und zart bonbonsüß mit fein fruchtiger & herbaler Hopfengrundierung. - Antrunk schlank karamelmalzig und blaß bonbonsüß mit leichter Frucht, einem Hauch von Aprikose und Orange, und nur milder herbaler Hopfung mit einer Andeutung von mediterranen Kräutern. Gut rezent, schlank. Im Abgang nur milde Hopfenherbe. - Was in der Nase vielversprechend begann, erweist sich im Trunk doch als arg blaß. Für ein Kerwa-Bier fehlt mir da der Wumms. (7.8.2022.)

NRW-Fläschla: Deep golden, hazy, medium-sized lacy white head, moderate to distinctive sweet-bitter aroma oof honeyish malt and flowery hops with a very faint rural touch; moderate to robust bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, not overly soft; slightly lingering herbal-bitter and honeyish finish. Well balanced franconian goody…

Bottle @ Bamberg. Late June find. Thank God. Pours hazy yellow with a fine stable White head. Melon, White bread, grains and a whisper of sweet marzipan and alcohol. Gentle warmth. Lovely.

Tap. Dark golden, surprisingly clear. Bread and butter; cold sweet butter. This translates into the taste, too. Its not bad, though. Balanced.

Bottle at the brewpub, Tiefenellern. Pours hazy amber with airy bit stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt, yeast, and banana. Sweetish flavour of malt and banana, with estery and grainy notes and hoppy touches. Sourish, grainy aftertaste with malty notes. High carbonation. Well, a decent beer for the style.

Bottle from Meibier. Light hazy blond colour, white foam. My first unfiltered Heller Bock. Light sweet, hints of honey, a bit bready, soft carbonation. Very easy drinkable. Great bock.

Bottle. Clear pale golden color with white head. Aroma is grassy, mildly herbal, sweetish malts. Taste is juicy malts, herbal hops, quite nice counterpoint there, but overall a bit thin. Oily mouthfeel with sparkly carbonation. Alright, not too impressive.

Preussen (NRW) Fläschla: Deep golden, hazy to cloudy, medium-sized and quite stable firm off-white head, robust dryish grainy-fruity nose with a slight - franconian - barnyardy touch, mild and dry bitterness underneath; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, as soft as expected; relatively dry fruity and grainy bitter-sweet finish. Another well-balanced, well drinkable franconian masterpiece...
