Bottle picked up from Sedats Schlüggla Getrankemarkt, Schwaig bei Nürnberg and consumed at home, sat out in the garden in the company of Mum and Keith, Saturday 21st June 2025 (Summer Solstice) after a day in Passau, we had BBQ'd Persian Chicken, Cous Cous etc for tea. Poured mahogany in colour with an off white large frothy head. Malty aroma, caramel and toffee dominate Flavor also mostly waves of sweet maltiness, toffee and caramel, decent Doppelbock which I need to revisit as about a third of the way through, I decided I didn't really fancy this style of beer at this time and couldn't finish it all.

Meinel-Bräu Körnla, ein Mehrkorn-Ale, Flasche von Getränke Hoffmann, Münchberg. - Leicht trübes Goldbraun, reichlich Schaum. - In der Nase nur leise fruchtige Herbe. - Antrunk frisch aber etwas dünn gerstig-hellmalzig mit frischer, nur dezent fruchtiger (Obstkerne) aber knackig bitterer hopfenwürziger Hopfung. Leise brotige Züge von Roggen bzw. Vollkornbrot, kaum süß. Der Ale-Charakter (Hefe) ist angenehm verhalten. Perlend rezent, spritzig, doch von feiner Märzen-ähnlicher Fülle. Im Abgang knackige erdige Hopfenherbe. - Aromatisch gehopftes, knackig bitteres Mehrkornbier, das die süße Belanglosigkeit eines Weizenbieres ebenso umschifft wie die unangenehm säuerliche Herbe mancher Roggenbiere. Sehr angenehm! (30.12.2024.)

Bottle from Base Camp. Golden body, white head. Herbal, floral, slightly fruity-citric even hoppy aroma, nice! Lean, dry, bit minerally taste, grainy, bit rough maltiness, herbal hoppiness, Pilsnerish by all means, but not charmed by teh taste.
