Description
Since 1663 the brewing trade has remained in direct family hands. The fathers always passed the art of brewing beer on to their sons. And that's still the case today! All the Georgs, Johanns and Leonhards brewed their beer here in Pahres with fresh water from the same brewery's own well. In the past also with self-grown Aischgründer hops.
The Hofmann brewery has grown to its present size under the leadership of Georg Hofmann and delivers its beer within a radius of up to 60 km from the brewery chimney. Since 1990 responsibility has been in the hands of Georg Hofmann.

(33cl bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a massive foamy white head. Fresh herbal hoppy aroma with mild malty, slightly grainy accents. Mildly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a pleasantly soft carbonation and a well-matured mouthfeel. Rounded pale malty taste and moderate herbal hoppy notes, leading into a medium-dry malt-accented and slightly hoppy finish. Another fine brew by Hofmann, smells like a Pils but tastes like an Export (09.VI.09).

Light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a crispy mouthfeel. Strawy malt-character with herbal hoppy accents, leading into a moderately dry and bitter finish.
