About
The Brewery Michael Plank was established in 1617. It is a small, family owned business that is now under the direction of the 16th generation Michael Plank.

The current Michael Plank is now the brewmaster and is credited with honing the traditional recipes to their current levels which have led to the company being named as the "Best Small Brewery in the World" at the 2006 & 2012 World Beer Cup! That makes Plank the only brewery to have been awarded this World Beer Cup....twice.

Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass zippy, light brownish. Starts mild, roasty, not too intense. Light notes of caramel. Modest sourish, not too much. Finish mild, well balanced, roasty-malty. Not bad!

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy and slightly strawy aroma, minimally floral, a spicy touch of hay. Taste is slightly grainy, minimally malt-spicy, a hints of hay, a cautious floral touch. Slightly better and a bit more spicy than an average Helles.
