Unclear orange with a creamy head. Rustic basement notes, lemon zest, sourdough, marzipan, hay. Dry zesty bitterness, grainy hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry hoppy zesty rustic bitter finish. A great example of a Franconian Kellerbier, all there what you would expect!

I asked for this at the brewery stube. They didnt know about it. But I was served their kellerbier which I suspect is the same beer. So here for the kellerbier: Served in a glass. 50cl. Pours unclear amber copper with a white head. Dry and toasted. Bread and biscuit. Dry and bitter finish. Quite nice.

Bottle picked up from REWE Getrankemarkt, Viechtach and consumed at home Sunday 12th March 2023 listening to Future Sound of London - Dead Cities, we're cooking Meatballs with Fregola and Feta. Pours clear gold with a white head, dry finish, subtle fruity edge, a tad simplistic but ok, good for a simple quaffing starter bier.

Brauerei Hofmann Hohenschwärz Helles, Flasche von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. - Kupfergold, hefetrüb; sahniger Schaum mit Ringen im Glas. - In der Nase sommerlich gerstiges helles Malz und vage aber ausreichende Hopfung mit Anklängen an Zitrusfrucht. - Antrunk weich und kernig gerstig-hellmalzig mit leichter brotiger Note, gar nicht süß. Solide aber anfangs undeutliche, etwas alt wirkende Hopfung, die erst allmählich schöne Bitterorange entfaltet. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang schöne Hopfenbittere. - Kein süßlich-fades Helles bairischer Machart sondern ein sauber gerstiges, gut ausgereiftes und solide gehopftes Frankenlager, dem eine zarte Altersnote besonderen Reiz verleiht. Schmeckt mit jedem Schluck besser. (2.8.2022.)

Tap. Dark amber brown. Smells like bread. Tastes like flat sweet beer with a sticky end. Why is everything so sticky?

Tap at the Franconian Beerfest 2019. Hazy gold. Lemony nose wth biscuity hops. Sweet and lemony, biscuits, bread, with a peppery, prickly hop finish. Decent.
