Vom Faß beim Höhn. - Tiefes Goldgelb, leicht trüb; rasch schwindender Schaum. - Geruch intensiv karamelmalzig, dumpf krautig-herb, fuselig. - Antrunk kräftig honigsüß (Waldhonig) mit Karamel und Haselnuß. Deutlich „grün“, mit butterigen Fehlaromen (Diacetyl). Durchschnittlich rezent, breit vollmundig. Im Abgang unaromatisch malzbitter mit unangenehm fuseligem Einschlag. Langer, dumpf-bitterer Nachtrunk mit ranzigen Nüssen, unangenehm fuseligem Einschlag und stark „grünen“ Noten. - Stark karamellig aber nicht eigentlich süß, sondern unangenehm bitter und unreif. Mißratener Bock. Vielleicht auch nur noch nicht lang genug gelagert?

Or whatever the house beer is. I am guessing it’s the most rated beer. Hazy amber thick lasting cream head. Malty worty unfiltered beer that is very interesting and quite delicious. Yeast on aroma. Odd to find a yeast led lager in these parts. Interesting drinkable. But I must get back to Bamberg before the light goes. Hop builds on the finish. Decent

On tap: Deep golden, hazy, stable creamy off-white head, grassy-hoppy nose with slight malty traces; light to medium bodied, sweet-bitter flavour; traces of vegetables in the drier bitter-sweet finish. Quite weak by franconian standards…

Draught: Deep golden, hazy, stable creamy off-white head, moderate fruity and shy herbal to grassy nose, slight malty traces underneath; medium bodied, moderate bitter-sweet flavour; slightly lingering bitter-sweet finish, accompanied by a certain tartness and a certain fruitiness. O.K., nice Bock....Rerate 11/2022: Very well balanced, sweet malty and hoppy Bock. Devilishly moreish!

On tap at the hotel Gasthof-Hohn, Memmlesdorf - 28/04/12. Slightly hazy amber-brown in colour. Malts and yeast are the mainstay of the nose allied to a little earthy veg smell. Flavour is again malt, some fruits come through also, not citrus maybe peachy/apples - but fairly background in this respect. Light bitterness in the mouth and finishes fairly dry. Would revisit this one.

On tap in Memmelsdorf, 18/07/2012. Slightly hazy gold in colour and appearance, with a billowy, off-white head. Stone fruit aroma with some sweetness and a touch of grassy hop. Sweetish, malt flavour with some more fruit and gently bitter finish. Good.

Herber Hopfenantrunk, markant. Die Herbe bleibt nun stärker bestehen, der Hopfen flacht ab. Dahinter knackig bitter, unpassend erscheint aber die hintergründige Wässrigkeit. Zum Glück bleibt das im Hintergrund, das Bier befindet sich aber hier dennoch in einer eher schwachen Phase. Der Hopfen zeigt sich eher zum Ende wieder, wo er aromatisch mit breiter Bitterkeit konsolidiert. Hier etwas würzger, die Süffigkeit wird durch die Bitterkeit eingeschränkt. 10/10/10/10//10

Hazy blond. Thick head. Big bready pale malt aroma promises a full-bodied beer. Brash malty character, full malts, some yeasty rusticity, light spicy fruits. The finish is dry and spicy. Yum. One of the top bocks of the season.

Swing top 500ml (BB 09/2010)
Courtesy of Edo (me thinks). Slightly hazy amber color, small white head. Grainy malty aroma with hints of apples. Light to medium bodied. Slightly caramelly maltyness, grains, cardboard, some odd fruity notes. Lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. A bit off with off-flavors (sic!) so when drinked fresh probably a nice beer. Now kind of weird.
