Description
1752 erhielt Johann Friedrich Pierson die Braurechte verliehen. Seitdem braut meine Familie nun schon neun Generationen Bierspezialitäten - so wie die Nordhessen sie lieben - auf der Knallhütte. Damit erhielt die nordhessische Braugeschichte und Braukultur eine feste Heimat.

Pours hazy gold from the bottle. The white crown soon fades. Aroma is quite tropical; the advertised mango and maracuja is accurate. Taste is very sweet. The grapefruit / citric base has a strong syrupy undertone and the sweetness lingers into the finish, settling atop and largely masking the weak bitterness that arises at this stage. Relatively light bodied, not at all watery. Refreshing, but not something I would stock a lot of, simply too unbalanced. Might make a nice accompaniment to spicy, grilled dishes.

Bottle from the brewery-shop. Floral dusty aroma in the nose. The beer starts fresh with hints of grain in the body. Not too floral hops, fresh with floral citrus parts, but only very subtle and slightly sweetish. The aftertaste is mild, sweetish with not too much depth, not too much hops and a very low bitterness. Sad.
