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.

Bottle @ Franconia. Pours hazy pale yellow with a green hew and a good stable white head. A touch of lemon, straw, alcohol and honey dew. Dry and warming finish. Would love to drink this fresh.

0,5 l bottle. A clear pale copper in the glass, with a nearly two finger frothy head. Smells malty grainy. Taste ist more grainy than malty, low fruitieness in the background, some nuts. Mid hop bitterness, spicy. Okay.

Hofmann Weihnachtsfestbier, Flasche (MHD: 08.04.22) von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. - Kupfergold, blank. - In der Nase etwas harte toastige Malzigkeit, nussig, feine hopfenwürzige Herbe, zart seifig bzw. ranzig. - Antrunk kernig gerstig-toastmalzig mit feiner karamelliger Süße, etwas Butter und hintergründiger orangenfruchtig-hopfenwürziger Herbe. Leichte ranzig-muffige Noten (alte Socken) gehen in derbe Bittere über. Durchschnittlich rezent, hart im Mund. Unschöner Nachtrunk. - Könnte ein solides fränkisches Festbier sein, wären da nicht störende ranzige Züge. Das harte, mineralreiche Brauwasser, von dem die Brauerei spricht, betont zwar den gerstig-untergärigen Charakter, unterstreicht leider aber auch diese Fehlaromen. (19.12.2021.)

@home poured into a weizen glass. Slightly unclear pale golden colour, huge moussywhite head, slowly dissipating to a lasting thin layer, light lacing. Aroma wheat, yeast, banana, lemon, touch of coriander. Taste medium sweet and light sourish, some bitterness, wheat, yeast, lemon, light banana. Medium body, watery texture, average carbonation, lingering sweetbitterish and sourish aftertaste, yeasty and citrusy notes, very nice.
