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.»

Krug in Meisterstück Haidhausen. Chewy fruity malt base, mellow medium body, good grassy and aromatic hops counterpoint. Quaffable, solid.

Tap. Served in a ceramic mug, so let's assume it was hazy golden, the head is creamy. Aroma is grainy, bready yeasts. Taste is nutty, bready, some juicy malts, but the graininess is more prominent than the juiciness. Natural carbonation. Nice, but not exciting.

Draught @ Meisterstück, Münich. Aroma is somewhat tart with redcurrants and tobacco smoke. Flavour is a bit tart with currants, some sweetish malt, hints of resin, some grassy hops and mild milky notes. Unusual märzen.

Draught @ Meisterstück, Münich. Aroma is odd and musty with herbal tones. A bit foamy palate. Flavour has herbal tones, some minerals and malt. Easy-going but then again a bit mellow. Not the most typical helles.
