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.

It was announced as "Helles". Hazy yellow color, small white head. Hayish apply aroma. Crisp, citrusy, apple-like fruity flavor. More like a Zwickel or kellerbier than helles.

Bottle at RBESG Grand Tasting 2008. Hazy gold, thin off white head. That’s not much better than the helles. Not a great lager either.

(33cl swing top bottle) Cloudy, murky golden colour with almost no head. Sweet and yeasty barley-malty nose, slightly bready and worty and only shy fruity. Very sweet flavour, light bodied with a soft carbonation. Slightly bready and malty, intensively fruity (mango) taste; very sweet and sticky fruity and malty finish. Too sweet and too sticky to be enjoyable (09.07.08).

Honey yellow coloured, medium sized white head, odd grainy vegetable nose. Sweet malty, grainy and sugary taste with few alcohol hints. Low bitterness, alcohol is well hidden.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet malts, rather fruity and grassy notes as well as mild alcohol. Flavour is rather malty, with some yeast and earthyness. Easy to drink, and flavour hides the alcohol well.

RBESG08 Grand Tasting Hm... if you guys are positive that this is it so be it. Hazy yellow colour, white head. Grainy nose, slightly fruity/lemony. Nice light grainy and lemony nose with a light bitterness surrounding it. Hoppy aftertaste. A nice, drinkable lighter beer.

RBESG08 Grand Tasting Guess this is it. Medium sized persistent white head, orange-golden, unfiltered. Grainey, honeyish nose. Ok enough. Soft, light malty taste, bit grainy taste. Light and boring.
