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.

16 ounce can. Brown color topped by a dense rocky beige head. Earthy, baked brown bread aroma. Flavor follows nose with added notes of banana and clove. Some spiciness on backend. Very nicely done. Prost!

Plank-Bier Helles, Flasche von REWE, Parsberg. - Dunkelgoldgelb, klar. - In der Nase leicht brotiges Malz von milder Süße und milder ätherisch-herbaler Hopfen. - Im Antrunk dann unerwartet kernige zitrusfruchtige Hopfenherbe, kandierte Orangenschale, ätherische Kräuter. Erst darunter auch tiefe Malzigkeit von dezenter Süße mit einer Andeutung von Honig. Milder rezent, angenehm mineralisch. Im Abgang solide zitrusfruchtig-herbale Herbe. Langer bitterer Nachtrunk. - Kernig und doch elegant gehopftes Helles mit Tiefgang, das so manches fade Pilsner in den Schatten stellt. Weitaus besser als die Bewertungen hier erahnen lassen.
