About
In 1861 the 25-years old Heinrich Schneider decided to found a brewery on the “Grün’schen Hof” in Hachenburg. The Hachenburger brewery soon became the most important family brewery within the region. With business leader and co-owner Jens Geimer the family-owned company has reached the fifth generation and is still entirely independent.

Key to the success is that the beer is consistently cooled, the precious beer has achieved its special aroma over and over again for 150 years. What was true then is still true today: the long and cold ageing process is a fundamental requirement for a real Hachenburger as well as the use of high-grade raw materials. As well as the natural spring water from the Rothbach valley

Bottle, 75cl, at TFODRBSG-12. An unclear, golden-orange beer topped by a dense, finger-thick off-white head. Malts, citrus peel, resins and some flowery hints on the aroma. The flavor is pretty much the same, far from as pronounced as I like my IPA’s. A rather English approach on an IPA this one. Piney and citrus peel flavor with pilsner malts and some bitterness. Full-bodied and pleasantly carbonated. A decent beer, but it’s a quite boring one. 120818

Hefig-brotiger Beginn mit zunehmender Metallnote. Geringe Herbe, erfrischend bis das Bier zum Ende trockener wird. Dort auch deutlich weniger aromatisch. Trinkbares Alkoholfreies. 9/9/8/5/9/5

damals getrunken als "Ur-Trüb"
Ein Zwickel aus einer klassichen Pils-Gegend. Die Säure des Bieres fällt auch mir unangenehm auf, wobei sie sich mit der Malzigkeit auf einen brutalen Zweikampf einlässt, den das Malz anfangs domniert, aber dann verliert. Der Hopfen steht als Schiedsrichter daneben und macht nicht viel, außer mal kurz das Wort ergreifen, wenn ihm die beiden Kontrahenten mal eine Chance geben. Interessantes Bier mit Charakter, aber zu unausgewogen.

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
(bottle, 75cl) Cloudy, deep golden to amber colour with a beige and thick foamy head. Discreet hoppy aroma by IPA standards, except for some herbal and very subtle fruity notes on a mildly cara-malty and yeasty background. Moderately bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Mildly cara-malty base with herbal and subtle hoppy notes, dry mouthfeel; moderately bitter hoppy finish but without very lasting nor assertive aroma hops character. Disappointing for a real IPA. 16.V.12
