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.

Gezapft: Hazy, chestnut-amber coloured, medium-sized loose and lacy off-white head; dryish bitter-sweet fruity-malty nose with tannic spots underneat; mild sweetish-bitter flavour, quite light bodied and a bit fizzy; slightly lingering and a bit drier herbal-bitter and (dry) malty finish. Inoffensive, but not that bad…

Many thanks for this beer to Mariusz. Piana srednia ale mocno trwala i okleja szklo. Kolor bursztynowy, nie za ciemny. W smaku karmel, pieczona skorka od swiezego chleba, nieco miodu i rodzynek. Piwo w pierwszej fazie kazdego lyku jest gryzace w jecyk jakby przyprawowosc.

Bottle. Copper/mahagony with a big foamy but short-lived head. Aroma of malts, nuts and caramel. Taste is pretty sweet upfront. Malts, caramel and some dark fruits. A small dose of hops and a whiff of liquorice. Medium carbonation. Balanced but not very complex. Ok, but I guess I won't bother again.
