About
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.

Brewery closed, brand still existing brewed at owners facilities (Gräflich von Mengersen'sche Dampfbrauerei Rheder).

(On tap) Clear, pilsener golden with a fairly tall and handsome head with good retention. Medium body with a solid and sweet malt base quickly buried in some rather raw bittering hops. But quite harmonious as a whole. 141106

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
(bottle, three weeks past the BB-date; with thanks to pivnizub !) Cloudy, hazy chestnut brown colour with a big but non-persisting, slightly off-white foamy head. Very fruits-accented aroma of dark berries with soft herbal notes. Sweet and sour flavour; medium to light bodied mouthfeel. Slightly mouldy wheaty taste with a distinctive fruitiness of dark berries; dryish, fruity and malty finish. Rather uncommon, but quaffable fruit-accented Dunkelweizen.

(bottle, with thanks to pivnizub !) Clear, pale golden with a mid-sized, not very stable blonde foamy head. Herbal hoppy aroma with a slightly sweet malty touch. Bitter flavour with strong metallic notes, light to medium body, crispy carbonated mouthfeel. Rather hops-accented character compared to the normal Hütt Pils. Soft malty base with strong herbal notes; dry and bitter finish with metallic hops. If they had chosen better hops…
