Description
History: Giesinger started as a garage brewery in Munich-Birkenau in 2006. In 2007, 300 hectoliters of beer were produced and sold in Birkenau. In 2009 we already produced an impressive 750 hectoliters of beer in our small backyard brewery. When we finally reached the magic limit of 1,000 hectoliters for the first time in 2011, the premises in Birkenau were completely exhausted. A new location was needed and found in the neighbourhood of Munich-Giesing. The new brewery opened in 2012 and continued to grow, therefore a second facility was opened in 2018.

Suddenly "big" entrepreneur: Today we have 20 fermentation and storage tanks in our brewery. Giesinger became Munich's second largest private brewery almost overnight: With our current brewing plant, we can produce up to 12,000 hectoliters of beer per year, and after the opening of the second brewery even more.

Schöne gelbe, sehr trübe Farbe. Cremiger Schaum. Sieht schon mal sehr gut aus. Zitroniger Geruch. Aromatische Zitronenschale und etwas -saft finden sich auch beim Trinken. Trockenes Getreide und hefige Noten ergänzen. Hopfung für ein bayerisches Helles im Mediumbereich. Wenig Kohlensäure. Weiches, volles Mundgefühl. Richtig gutes Zwicklbier. Aufgrund seiner Eigenschaften fast schon eine Alternative zu einem Weißbier.

dark golden colour, moderate sized dense, ecru-ish head; aroma of grassy, lemongrassy, hay, grainy, some floral and herbal notes; taste of a well-balanced lager with fruity--apple peel-like and similar notes to the aroma, as well as some spiciness in the aftertaste; good one!

Bottle at home from the Beer Shop in Hitchin. Great pour and looked lovely in the glass. This is a classic example of the style with rich sweet malts and well balanced hops. Really good

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, deep golden with a lacing, white head. Sweet, malty aroma. Rich, sweet maltiness but never sticky. Just sufficient hops for balance. 241025

A deep golden yellow to light amber-colored with white, fine-pored head of foam that lasts moderately well. The aroma is strongly malty, richly grainy and doughy-bready. A strong and full malt aroma also dominates. Slightly estery apple notes beckon from the background, but these do not affect the fresh character of this beer. The hops hardly play a role and only have a slightly spicy note that blends excellently with the malty components. The mouthfeel can be described as soft, fresh, almost creamy and full-bodied. It even leaves your lips slightly sticky. Absolutely typical of the style! The malt notes dominate the aftertaste too, although after a while a slightly dry, classic hop aroma with a delicate bitterness sets in. This calls for another sip and the drinkability is enormous.
This beer invites you to drink more than just a half pint. This full-bodiedness, this strong malt aroma and the incredibly high drinkability make this beer definitely one of the best in its style.
