Fläschla (Bayerisches Bier #5000!!!): Hazy, deep golden with an orangey sheen, small but creamy and stable white head, mild to moderate bitter-sweet aroma of grainy malt, with a fruity-yeasty touch and mineralic traces; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied but soft at least; bitter-sweet mineralic-grainy finish with tart fruity traces. Not great - by franconian standards...

Fläschla: Deep golden, clear, medium sized and slowly collapsing white head, moderate bitter-sweet aroma of grains and herbal hops, shy traces of toasted malt detectable; quite robust bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, crunchy MF; lingering sweet-toasty finish with a good dash of balancing herbal bitterness. Well made Franconian Märzen…

0,5 l bottle. Clear dark copper with a staedy and nearly two finger pale beige head. Looks really good. Malty and grassy smell. Taste is malty, toasted with bitter hop. Spicy, bready, less sweet than expected. Good bavarian stuff.

0,5 l bottle as Weihnachts-Festbier. Dark clear copper with a more than one finger pale beige head. Malty grain with caramel on the nose. Taste is also malty grainy, mid roasted. Increasing caramel in the second part. Spicy, bready, some sweetness. Low carbonation. Malty bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice.

Hetzelsdorfer Bier - Bockbier, 6,5 %, Flasche von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. - Kupferrotbraun, schwach trüb; sahniger Schaum. - In der Nase warmes, kernig toastiges Malz, Kaffee, Bayrisch Blockmalz und kräftige, lebhaft fruchtig-erdige Hopfung. - Antrunk satt und tief toastig-dunkelmalzig mit Brotkruste und kerniger fränkischer Hopfenherbe, orangenschalenbitter, rund krautig und leicht erdig. Kaum süß. Milder rezent, vollmundig-weich; perfekt kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang stattliche krautige Hopfenherbe. - Kerniger, malztiefer und schön bitterer Bock, ein wenig rustikal aber doch rund. Gar kein Vergleich mit dem säuerlichen Bock, den ich 2019 als Hetzelsdorfer Weihnachtsbock getrunken habe. (4.11.2021.)

500 ml bottle. Unclear amber with a small foamy head. Nuts, metallic notes, caramel, roasted malt, dark bread, mild citrus notes. Mild dryness, malty sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, mild dry sweetish metallic finish. Decent.

Pours light red, with almost perfect clarity. Average sized white head, quite quick to recede, but still leaves nice lacing. Interesting though not too intense aroma shows a half sweet, half earthy maltiness (notes of hazelnut, caramel and a bit of earthiness), plus a quite unusual red fruits note (especially berries). Taste does not fully confirm the aroma though. There's a sweet malty base, plus a quite distinct earthiness, actually borderlining muddy. The nice fruity notes that you could smell are barely there, if at all. Malty notes of brown bread, hazelnut, slight caramel. Finish is not perfectly clean, slightly muddy too. Light to medium body, light to medium, soft-bubbled carbonation, in an overall quite classic franconian easy mouthfeel. Overall enjoyable, but perhaps not fully polished.
