Description
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

330ml bottle. Opalescent, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grainy, minimally strawy, pale malty and plain, bitter hoppy aroma, a very cautious fruity touch of apple, metallic overtones. Taste is bitter hoppy, minimally fruity, a touch of apple, pear, mirabelle, metallic overtones, minimally grainy and strawy, pale malty basis with subtle sweetness. Watery texture, smooth an dsoft palate, medium to fine, soft carbonation. Rather clean, drinkable, relatively hoppy - OK.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Aroma of mixed grains, sawdust, bananas, lemons. Taste is mildly sweet without anything crispness on the backside, just a sweet and watery end. Body to the light side of medium, nicely balanced carbonation. Drinkable but not a lot of fun.

Hachenburger Fest-Bier, Flasche vom Craft Beer Store Steffenberg. - Goldbraun, blank. - In der Nase breiteres, mild karamellig-gerstiges Malz mit krautiger, schwach säuerlicher Hopfenherbe. - Antrunk Märzen-typisch satt karamelmalzig mit feiner Toastnote, schöner Restsüße, leichter Orangenherbe und frischer, etwas derber krautiger Hopfung, die in schwach ranzige Bittere übergeht. Milder rezent, vollmundig, schöne gerstige Härte. Im Abgang mild ranzig-krautig hopfenherb. - Eher lieblos gehopft aber kernig malzig und süffig, ein brauchbares Festbier aus dem Westerwald. Vielleicht nicht mehr ganz frisch. (5.1.2020.)

Süffiger, heller Beginn. Moderate Bitterkeit, geringe Süße, etwas trocken. Erfrischend, könnte ruhig stärker gehopft sein. Mit der Zeit ein wenig grasig, getreidig, mittellanger Abgang. 9/8/11/8/9/8

Good for the style. Nothing overtly off, but all the stuff in it blends together kind of muddled. Bottle from martin’s hometown

Not a classic helles in any sense. Super hopped up and bitter, but a little too astringent to be great. Otherwise a cool beer. Bottle from martin hometown

A solid slightly modern take on the style without losing any of the classic flavors. Light drinkable, but full body with chewy banana notes. Bottle from martin home
