Description
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 50cl. from Alehub @home poured into a footed pilsner glass. Clear medium golden colour, good frothy white head, half-way lasting, light lacing. Aroma sweet malt, lemon, grain, grassy hops. Taste medium sweet and light bitter, malty, light lemon, grain. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, sweetbitter aftertaste with more bitterness, husky notes and a bit cardboard make it somewhat pungent, nice though.

Japan only release. Very bitter for the style but so well balanced . A bit odd as it doesn’t have the classic noble hops character but I’d still drink by the liter

Bottle, no recollection from where, drunk after doing some tile extension in the kitchen where the old house wall used to be. Well deserved. Quite clear light gold, big head. Light citrus nose with mild grain notes. Slim body with bare hints of malt sweetness, nice bitterness level and character, big carb. Nice helles!
