Description
The Schlossbrauerei Ellingen with its fine beer specialties has been around since 1690. Experience a piece of our long-standing brewing history with every sip. What makes our beers so unique? FÜRST CARL beers are still brewed by hand in the traditional way in the copper brewhouse of the historic brewery. Our raw materials are natural and come from Ellingen and the region: water from our own well, hops and malt from Ellingen and Franconia. We only brew what we are good at: Franconian beer specialties!

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, deep golden colour with a short and slightly off-white foamy head. Mildly herbal and slightly floral hoppy aroma with subtle fruity accents. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a rather calm carbonation. Slightly bready malty base with hints of cereals, backed by slightly herbal-spicy and subtle fruity hops, getting delicately grassy towards the mildly bitter finish with a slightly grainy aftertaste. Drinkable, not a must. 10.I.18

Dark red brown (very dark) with little coarse light brown head. Aroma is walnuts licorice, caramel, toffee. Not very much aroma. Taste is well rounded with sweetness of dark fruits together with a little roasty bitterness. Mouthfeel is actually quite thin. Much carbonation with watery body. However medium long finish with more licorice and sweetness. Overall OK.
