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.

Good cream-coloured head, fine, over hazy foxy-orange beer. Vegetable nose, even vegetable oil; oily, coloured malts with some caramel and some fatty acids; laurel. Sweetish, cornlike but with spicy hoppy overtones; again laurel, pepper, peanuts, autumn leaves, caramel, oranges. Medium bodied at best, lightly spritzy. Reasonable, but not totally faultfree. Danke, Joss!

(swing top bottle) Cloudy, orange golden colour with a huge and dense foamy white head. Yeasty, lemon-fruity nose with a touch of mandarins, supported by worty malty notes and traces of woody hops. Yeasty and worty malty taste, subtle fruity with notes of vanilla; Flavours are a bit on the sweet side, especially towards the finish, which is furthermore yeasty and malty with a light but balancing hops character (12.09.07).

(swing top bottle) Cloudy, murky brown colour with a short off-white foamy layer. Sweet and yeasty, slightly worty and toasted malty nose with shy notes of toffee and traces of herbal hops. Light-sweet flavour, quite slim bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly toasty and a bit greenish malty taste with light notes of toffee; sweetish and slim malt-accented finish with light hoppy notes. Rather unconvincing (30.10.07).

Bügelverschlußflasche (kindly delivered by joss!): Cloudy, no head to speak of; sweet bready-doughy nose with a faint sourish tinge; almost cloying, very sweet flavour, sticky MF; shy traces of beer in sweet-fruity and sticky finish. Hardly drinkable...
