Bottle looks simple but good. Gusher! Beer in the glass with a huge head. Starts mild, malty, a bit moldy. Grasy notes. Some bready hints. Not much bitterness. Finish mild, wheaty-grasy notes. Better than much other Alkoholfreie.

0,5 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! BB 10.06.26. Now listed with 7,5 % abv. Clear dark reddish in the glass with a nearly two finger pale beige head. Looks really good. Sweet malty aroma, little bit fruity, some caramel. Taste starts malty, little bit roasted, increasing sweet fruity, present but pleasant alcoholic. Woody elements with nuts. Easy to drink. Really nice.

It's been three years since I had a Meinel beer. Very good! Very smooth, deliciously full.

Bottle looks simple but really good. Beer in the glass dark brown, nice head. Fine roasty-malty aroma. Starts fine soft-malty, shy roasty, sweetish notes, but not as heavy as other doppelbocks. Fine woody hints, some caramel, some herbs. Well balanced finish. Quite drinkable for its strength. Nice one!

Completely clear straw yellow export lager with minimal head. Straight to beech smoke on the nose although not too intense: the malty aromas andd grassy noble hops peek through. The maltiness is well balanced with the smokiness and it's not overpowering but the rest of the beer doesn't match up with it. Not full bodied. Dry. Ok and drinkable but not great.

"Meinel-Bräu Naggerds", Flasche vom Landbierparadies24, verkostet an meinem bierfreien Tag, 8.9.2025. - Dunkelgoldgelb, leicht trüb; unmäßiger Schaum. - In der Nase feine, blaß zitrusfruchtige Hopfung mit leisen exotischen Anklängen, blasse Gerste und nur äußerst dezente Traubenzuckersüße. - Im Antrunk allerdings arg schlank und nur blaß - wenngleich aromatisch - zitronenschalig hopfenherb. Helles Malz und feine Süße sind nur angedeutet; die gefürchteten Fehlaromen bleiben aus. Gut rezent. Im Abgang blasse Hopfenherbe. - Unter den verschiedenen Alkoholfreien, die ich gelegentlich aus Neugier und der Leber zuliebe probiere, eins der charakterstärksten, trotz seines dünnen Körpers.
