Der Bayerische Wald hat eine lange Glasbläsertradition. Die Männer die an den Schmelzöfen standen waren extrem hohen Temperaturen ausgesetzt und der Flüssigkeitsverlust durch Schwitzen war enorm. Allerdings hatte das Trinkwasser in früheren Zeiten nicht immer und überall die Qualität die man heute kennt. Ein Bier mit geringem Alkoholgehalt, von dem man möglichst viel trinken konnte, war also das ideale Getränk für diesen Job. Man schmeckt Getreide, etwas Birne, Malz und florale Nuancen. Einen Hauch zu viel, wenn auch extrem feinperlige, Kohlensäure. Für ein Bier dieser geringen Stärke tatsächlich bei weitem nicht so wässrig wie befürchtet. Das kann man wirklich trinken.

Flip-top half-litre bottle from 'Beers of Europe': BB 11th Jul 2020. drank at home on 29th Mar 2020. Misty pour, sediment floaters suspended in the dull golden body, white fluffy head (for a short time). Aroma held some maltiness, yeastiness and a hint of herbal/spiciness. Taste is a bit sweet with the maltiness from the nose taking over in the flavours to the detriment of the yeast and herbal notes, not much hop action either taste wise. Still quite liked it.

Half-litre bottle from 'Beers of Europe', BB 12th Aug 2020. Drank on 25th Mar 2020 sat in the afternoon sun on my rear lawn. Poured into a weissbier glass. Not the darkest Dunkle Hefe-Weissbier I have come across, this is a light brown, almost amber in colour, murky of course, billowing head. Usual banana, wheat and spicy nose/taste. Fine all round, but nothing to set it aside from other beers of this style.

Der Große Arber ist mit über 1.455 m der höchste Berg des Bayerischen Waldes. Die Dampbierbrauerei Zwiesel ist Luftlinie ca. 20 km entfernt und widmet dieses Bier dem „König des Bayerischen Waldes“. Sehr süffiges Helles. Getreide, florale Nuancen, Spuren von Birne und deutlich bittere Note fallen auf. Weiß zwar nicht was daran Spezial ist, aber das schmeckt richtig gut und ist auch sehr erfrischend. Bevorzuge zwar andere Bierstile, könnte sich aber durchaus zu einem meiner Lieblings-Hellen entwickeln.

Helles Bockbier mit 6,5 % Alk. und unbekannter Stammwürze. Florale und getreidige Geschmacksnoten. Etwas Frucht (Apfel und Birne). Bittere Note ab dem Mittelteil, die noch lange nachklingt. Schön feinperlige Kohlensäure - nicht viel, aber macht das Bier schön lebendig. Erstaunlich leicht und süffig für ein Bockbier. Gefährlich.
