Description
Deutsche Braukunst und Tradition oder amerikanisches Craft-Beer? Der Hopfenhäcker Kreativbrauer bringt’s zusammen. Brauhandwerk gelernt und fasziniert vom „American Way“, Bier zu interpretieren. Zwei Männer – der Münchner und der Ami – brauen in der Garage, bis sie beide der Meinung sind:
«So schee war’s überhaupt no nia.»

Flascherl: Deep amber coloured with a ruby sheen, visible carbonation, stable medium-sized off-white head, moderate bitter-sweet nose of dried fruits and dark malt with traces of molasses and chocolate; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, a bit fizzy; lingering bitter-sweet dark-malty finish with traces of cacao. Unusual, but well made Tmavý...

Flascherl (Dank an joss!): Light golden, not completely clear, medium-sized and slowly collapsing white head, moderate flowery to herbal nose, a bit perfumed, too, pale-malty background; moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied and pretty fizzy; lingering dryish floral finish, some balancing malt hardly detectable. Not bad, but quite unharmonic...

Tap, apparently this is a bottom-fermented beer with the malt bill of a Wit. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is fresh flowery, sweet fruits, pear, a touch phenolic. Taste is pear, light cereal, lemon peel, a touch of ethanol in the back, even a bit warming. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation.
