Description
Im Jahr 2010 war es soweit, Wetzlar hatte wieder ein eigenes Bier. Zum Gallusmarkt schenkten die Freunde von Herman e.V. in ihrem Vereinslokal in der Silhöfertorstraße die ersten Flaschen Wetzlarer Eselstoff aus, benannt nach Esel Herman, dem orangefarbenen Sympathieträger vom Schillerplatz. Inzwischen umbenannt in Wetzlarer ESEL und ergänzt durch ESEL | WEISS und ESEL | DUNKEL sind die Biere mit dem orangefarbenen Esel in vielen Geschäften, Restaurants und Kneipen in der Region gar nicht mehr wegzudenken...

From the bottle. Brown with a creamy, white head. Mild toffee notes and toast in the aroma. Taste is mildly sweet with caramel undertones that linger at the finish. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Nice, creamy feel in the mouth. Overall, not a wide range of depth but quite pleasant.
