Description
The Prince-Bishops of Fulda founded their own brewery in Motten over 500 years ago. The brewery only came into private hands in 1791, as a kind of privatization. Local farmer Johann Georg Will bought the brewery for an impressive 6,000 guilders and a success story began. In 1987 the brewery was taken over by the Hochstiftliche Brauhaus Fulda.
The Hochstiftliche Brauhaus in Bavaria can look back on a proud history of over 200 years. As a regional family brewery, we are firmly rooted in the region with its history and tradition. According to the motto "from the region - for the region" we face up to our corporate responsibility towards home. Because in a family-run company, decisions are made in the long term and with a view to future generations, without only having in mind the quick, short-term success.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, pilsener golden with a white head. Distinct aroma of banana and yeast. Medium body with distinct yeasty accents - surprisingly strong wheat esters considering the filtering. A fairly nice Kristall. 130806 and 010708

(bottle) Clear golden colour with a small foamy white head. Light-sweet grainy and shy hoppy aroma. Sweetbitter flavour, light to medium body, crispy carbonation. Rather malt accented Pilsener with grainy, slightly bready taste and a dense but fine hoppy note. Clean, refreshing, but not spectacular.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with a small head. Fresh and sweetish - with natural sugar - but not really that significantly different from hundreds of other Radlers. The back label tells the story about how Radler was invented.... 030303

(Bottle 50 cl) Very unclear greyish orange - almost muddy - with a neat head. Very fruity aroma and a soft, dry body with lots of fruity banana esters. Discreet, rounding bitterness. One of the better Hefes. 011205

(Bottle 50 cl) In my version called "Will-Bräu Pilsner" at 4,6% ABV. Pale golden with a tall and beautifully lacing head. Very hoppy aroma atop a very sweet malt base and a discreet bitter finish. Nice example of a South-German pils. 201002

(Bottle 50 cl) Pilsener golden with a small head. Rather soft and malty, reminding me of a "Helles". A very discreet bitterness. Quite neat. 240702

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful golden colour with a decent head. Hoppy and aromatic with a marked bitterness. The "De luxe" tag refers to a longer lagering period than the company’s standard pilsener. 120702

Bottle. Strong banana and clove aroma. Cloudy yellow-tan color with small head. Light wheat malt flavor - slight banana and clove but not near as upfront as the flavor would lead you to think. On the watery side. Pleasant but not enough flavor

Bottle. A very fruity aroma - primarily a wheaty banana but with hints of apricot and apple. Clear golden yellow color with moderate head. A lemon wheat malt flavor with slight hops finish and moderate carbonation. A less sweet Kristall Weizen - drinkable but atypical of the style.
