Description
The name “von Hövel” in Dortmund has stood for first-class brewing art for centuries. In 1518 the patrician family acquired the brewing rights on the Hövel-Hof am Hohen Wall, where Wilhelm von Hövel finally founded today's Hövels brewery in 1854. In search of the perfect beer, in 1893 he developed a mashing process with a particularly long ripening time. The result: a lean, but full-bodied beer specialty, rich in complex aromas.

Even today we feel committed to the tradition of always looking for the best, and thanks to our art of brewing, we impressively demonstrate this with new beer specialties, both in the Ruhr area and in the far north.

Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured, small and slowly collapsing off-white foamy layer, sweetish grainy to malty nose with some fruity spots and a mild bitterness; mild to moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, quite light bodied and a bit fizzy; slightly lingering sweetish-malty and mildly bitter finish. No reason to get excited, but nevertheless quite well drinkable...

0.33 l bottle from local 'Getränke Hoffmann', best before November 2019. A bit hazy, deep amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Slightly sweetish, a bit malty and a little grassy-spicy aroma of caramel, some nuts and hints of straw. Moderately sweet, gently bitter, slightly malty, a bit grassy-spicy taste of caramel, grains, some toasted nuts and a touch of straw, followed by a short, gently bitter, moderately grassy-spicy and a little metallic finish. Almost medium-bodied, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Drinkable, not that bad.
