Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours crystal clear honeyed gold with a lovely, frothy off-white head. Light to medium sweet with classic toasted biscuit character, nips of honey and caramel, a little dough, straw. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweetish finish, nicely balanced, more bready, sun-kissed biscuits. Delightful.

Schönes Kupfer im Glas, schön Karamell in der Nase. Im Trunk ebenso, leider etwas metallisch um Antrunk. Beim zweiten Schluck okay, viel Malz, Karamell, recht mächtig, okay.

500 ml bottle best before 10.2021. Unclear dark golden, small head. Mostly metallic notes, nuts, caramel, resin and pine. Metallic bitterness, malty sweetness. Medium bodied, oily watery texture, low carbonated, strong metallic bitter finish. Not sure if this is supposed to be like that or just a bad batch. Pretty unpleasant, too metallic and bitter. 2.3 Re-Rating 1/2/24. 500 ml bottle. Pours slight unclear amber orange with a foamy head. Caramel, grapefruit zest, metal, toasted bread, dried figs, nuts. Dry metallic bitterness, some sweetness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry zesty grainy bitter finish. Quite a characterful, crisp hoppy Franconian Vollbier, not bad!

Amber with a thin, frothy to creamy, white head. Aroma of mixed grains, caramel, Birnenwein. Taste is crisply bitter with a rich mix of roasted grain bitterness on a sweet and bready base. Faint tartness at the end. Medium bodied with the mild carbonation typical for an Ungespundet. A good example of the style, which I’ve recently begun to better appreciate. Goes great with a plate of smoked beef ribs!
