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.»

Bottle drunk after a three day weekend. Medium amber with light haze and a decent finger of head. Grainy citrus nose, pretty decent flavor with a good mix of grain, moderate malt sweetness, and earthy-citrus hop bitterness at the end. Quite decent alkfrei!

Light red with a frothy, white head. Aroma promises caramel, lime, and spice. Taste is moderate bitter, grassy, and somewhat grainy. Finishes bitter with the sharpness from the hops coming through. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, somewhat dry. Good balance. Not bad.

Dark, dark brown with a frothy, beige head. Aroma quite hoppy for a bock, lime and pine on top with a malty, dark chocolate undertone. Not bad, although lacking somewhat in harmony. Taste is herbal bitter with mild roasted tones. Finishes the same with, again, a dose of lime that feels out of place for the style. Maybe I just can’t make the mental leap.. Full bodied, very smooth, mostly mild carbonation. Ok.

Das Sour von Hopfenhäcker fand sich auf keiner Homepage oder Liste, wobei ich sagen muss, dass das andere besser hinbekommen. Es gibt nette Ansätze, aber das Gesamtbild erscheint mir noch zu wirr 😵‍💫.

Tap at Super Bier Fest. Hazy borwn body, off-white head. Oily raisiny sweetish malty aroma, light alcohol. Alcohol dominates the taste, I feel it might be much more than 8.2% - the taste is lean and dry, with light caramelly notes and some oxidation, some barrel touches. I mean... fun experiment, but wasn't a huge fan.

Light gold, Medium white head, caramel and citrus-pineapple nose like a West Coast beer. Wow, smooth caramel and a lot of it, like Dutch caramel waffles. Silky moderate bitterness, lightly citrus fruity, very tasty West Coast IPL!

Bottled as Käfer Winterbier as far as I can tell. Dark red, nice large fine head. Very aromatic nose with caramel, earthy hops, lightly roasted malts. Definitely has some cara red flavor but to their credit, minimal amounts of that RedX astringency i often note in red ales. Not too complex but tasty with fresh malt flavors and pleasant bitterness.

0.5L bottle pours out crisp clean golden topped with a white head. Nose is great nice citrus leaf hops some cereal malts. Taste is more of the nice crisp citrus hops and a well balanced malt.
