Description
Anno 1520, das Bayerische Reinheitsgebot war gerade mal vier Jahre alt, wurde unsere Brauerei erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Was folgte, war eine Erfolgsgeschichte, die mittlerweile ein halbes Jahrtausend andauert.

Natürlich wandelte sich in dieser Zeit vieles. Doch eines blieb immer konstant und hat die Jahre überdauert: das Streben nach einem Bier, das den regionalen und überregionalen Vergleich nicht zu scheuen braucht.

Als familiengeführte Brauerei ist die Franken Bräu Garant für die Bierkultur unserer Heimat. Wir sehen darin eine hohe Verpflichtung, die wirtschaftliche Existenz und Führung des Unternehmens auch weiterhin in privater Hand fortzusetzen.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white foamy head that leaves slight lace. Aroma is toffee, caramel, some mild fruity and wheaty notes as well. Flavour is rather similar in a nice balance. Quite nice wheatbeer, even though the wheat is not that noteable under the caramel and toffee. Quite pleasant palate. Long citrusy aftertaste.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep black, small head. Starts mild, fine malty, not too roasty, modest sweet. Fruity hints of plum. Finish well balanced, quite drinkable. Good schwarzbier.

[9/21/11] Mahleket Hanikot Shotrim ’11 tour. Draught in some bar in Weimar. Clear very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is slightly roasty with caramel and some toasted bread. Sweetish flavor with toasted malt, caramel and slightly drier finish with faint herbal hints. Light-medium-bodied. Decent.

0.33l can. This is a a clear golden beer with a small sidesticking white lager-head. Aroma is mild and light malty with notes of dry and dusty hops. Watery to oily mouthfeeling, average to lively carbonation and light-bodied. Tastes pale malty, hints of cactus and citrus and it ends medium bitter. Not to horrible.

Chestnut colour. Rich toffeeish aroma. Fairly full taste, lots of dark sugars and good malt complexity. Tasty.
