Brown flip-top half-litre bottle, best before 8 Jan 2010, drank three days later (11 Jan 2010), so just out of date. Poured three times into a 0.2 litre Veltins stemmed tulip glass. Each pour produced a good looking copper coloured beer with a fine deep off-white head Plenty of life to be seen, bubbles rising throughout the tasting, so lots of carbonisation. The body was almost clear, just the hint of a haze. Fairly malty in the smell, a sweet molasses type aroma I suppose. Not sickly, but on the sweet side. The sweetness from the malty aroma carried on into the taste. A little on the fizzy side, all those bubbles mentioned in the apperance attack you as you sip the beer. The beer dried somewhat in the aftertaste, but appeared full bodied and well balanced for a lager based beer. I enjoyed this beer a lot better than my first beer from this brewery, thank goodness, because I have more to review. They export to the UK, but I don’t think anywhere else.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before end of Dec 2009, drank mid-Jan 2010. Poured into a vase shaped pint glass. This is a Bio-Bier! Emmer is a type of wheat. Had I known this before the tasting it would have been poured into the correct glasswear, nowhere on the label was there an indication it was a wheat beer (my German is poor though). I poured the lot in, the sediment turned a clear, very pale yellow beer into a cloudy, darker golden coloured brew, with a few ’floaters’ within. A thin white head sat on top, it looked like a normal wiezen to be honest. It also had an aroma simular to a wiezen, vanilla, citrus and banana type smells. It is a wiezen, tastes like ona anyway, and good one at that! Refreashing, tart and sharp, just like the better wiezen normally are. A pleasant suprise, expected a boring lager/pilsner experience, instead I got a well crafted wiezen from a brewery that hasn’t impressed me with their other beers (so far).

Jan 2010: Brown 500ml bottle poured into a Veltins 0.2 litre stemmed tulip glass. My fourth and final beer from this brewery (unless I find another one somewhere on my travels). Pours a nice dark gold, darker than most German Pilsners/Lagers. The normal pure white head sat on top for each pour. The aroma had a hint of nuts, otherwise the regular Pilsner no-smell that almost all have. Good blend of hops and malts, add the nuts from the smell and you get a very good Pilsner. Better body and depth of flavours normally associated with a Pilsner, this was almost full-bodied and creamy. Easy to drink and one of the best German Pilsners that I’ve ever had.
