Moorig, malziger Geschmack. Unausgewogen, sperrig und alles andere als ein Genuss. Ist wirklich nicht besonders. Positiv ist nur, dass die Verbreitung auf Franken beschränkt ist und das Zeug es nicht zu mir nach Niederbayern geschafft hat. Das helle Weizen ist einen ganzen Zacken besser (was allerdings keine Kunst ist). Nachtrag: Offenbar fanden das Bier andere auch nicht so toll. Im Herbst 2018 ging die traditionsreiche Brauerei Pleite und wurde geschlossen. Die Markenrechte übernahm Kulmbacher, die auch die Produktion übernehmen werden. Auch wenn ich selbst absolut kein Fan von Kitzmann war, kann ich sehr gut nachvollziehen wie enttäuscht und geschockt man in Erlangen ist. Ein Stück lokaler Identität und Tradition geht verloren...

Clear bronze. Aroma is apple juice some bourbon vanilla whiskey dark honey and some spruce. Taste is a bit stale alcoholic. Not so convincing but interesting
