About
The origins of the brewery can be traced back to 1797, with an inn and a grocer always mentioned. It has been family-owned since 1919. Today Günter and Rainer Wagner are responsible for the cool liquid from the keg, of which especially the Ungespundete Lagerbier has a cult status in Bamberg and the region. The brewery has an annual production of 17,000 hectoliters.

(bottle, from the brewery) Clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy white foam, slowly lacing. Light-sweet grainy aroma, herbal hoppy with citrus elements. Bittersweet flavour, light to medium body, crispy, almost lively carbonated mouthfeel. Balanced malty, grainy taste with aromatic hops; moderately dry and bitter hoppy finish, that lasts for a while. Well quaffable Pils.

On tap (in the brewry garden): Deep golden coloured, lacing off-white fluffy head, quite stable; sweet malty, but also distictive hoppy aroma; starting sweetish, later distinctive bitter taste, medium to full bodied;drier than the Märzen. Well done, well rounded.........

Pale golden, pretty fluffy white head. Aromatic and herbal hop aroma. Light but chewy malt body, beautifully balanced to the herbal and aromatic hops - Klasse!

Fruity yeast and slightly smoky nose, aromatic hops present. No visuals. Peachy yeast base, light yet chewy body, wonderfull hop balance. I need to get back to Merkendorf...

No you shouldnt Joris, the beer here is too good for the world :-). Clove, slightly dusty nose. Cloudy orange, lowish head. Mainly clove in flavor as well, marzipan, perfumed notes - the difference between the franconian and southern bavarian weissbiers is striking. Dry medium body. Very nice.

Ah but Joris, it is a very nice Marzen :-) It starts with the looks: Hazy amber with moderate carbonation, big foamy tanned lacing head. Bready, some dried tropical fruit aroma, herbal and aromatic hops. Fruity and honeyish malts, some perfumed notes and a elegant dry herbal finish. Solid chewy mouthfeel, bready and herbal aftertaste.

Bottled (BB 12/2005)
Clear copper brown, not much head. Lemony hoppy nose. Flowery hoppy, sweetish malty. Very English-bitter like, maybe Kentish hops are used here? Interesting German lager.

Für ein Pils ist das Bier ungewöhnlich malzig, ab der Mitte bis zum geschmacklichen Abschluss kommt auch noch eine pilsige Herbe dazu, wohl dosiert, allerdings irgendwie doch ein wenig unstimmig. Das Aroma könnt ein wenig vielseitiger sein. Test vom 25.10.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,9,9,9,12,9 - 8,95

Der Geruch ist widerlich und es kostet überwindung, dieses Bier zu kosten. Der Geschmack jedoch lässt einen aufatmen, fruchtig und leicht bitter. Der Geruch und das Etikett lassen nicht erahnen, was für ein Bier in der Flasche schlummert! Test vom 2.10.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,9,12,12,7,10 - 10,50
