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.»

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 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.
