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.

500ml bottle at Battersea BF 2007. Gold/orange colour. Thin white head. Slightly ugly lager. Dull, but ok.

Bottle: Light amber coloured, mid-szed fluffy "dirty" white head; distinctive aromatic hoppy and sweet-fruity nose; robust bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering bitter-aromatic and sweet-fruity finish. Wow, what a pleasant, well balanced Doppelbock !

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, deep golden with a small, white head. Malty aroma. Medium body with sweet malts. Decent all right - just not very exciting. 101106

An orange beer with a fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of both straw and malt. The flavor is very sweet and quite malty with a flowery hop note setting in, and leading to a bitter and slightly caramelic end.

[Bottled at GBBF] Clear golden. Evident papery banana aroma. Sweet with clean mouthfeel. A very straight forward weizen with lifeless, near plastic mouthfeel. The esters are certainly there, but the malt character just isn’t.

My absolute favourite among märzens. Overwhelmingly soft maltness, discrete balnced flavours, and leaves you craving more. Even though I've only tried this once, it has etched itself onto my mind.
