Description
Owned by Schloßbrauerei Kaltenberg since 2009, stopped brewing then. Brewery is closed, small range of Holzkirchner beers is brewed at owners brewery.

Das Brauhaus in Holzkirchen blickt auf eine lange Tradition zurück. So wissen wir, dass schon 1605 der Tegernseer Abt dem Holzkirchner Oberbräu das Braurecht verliehen hat. Das Holzkirchner Oberbräu ist mit seiner über 400-jährigen Brautradition tief verwurzelt im bayerischen Oberland. Genießer und Kenner schätzen dieses Brauhaus für seine altbayerische Braukunst. Die ausgereiften und rein gebrauten Bierspezialitäten stehen für die traditionelle Lebensart im bayerischen Oberland.

Bottled (Beerangel, BB 06/2009). Hazy deep orange color, medium-sized white head. Aroma of banana and wet clothes, some panna cotta. Overriped, slightly barbequed banana flavor. Also potato flours and some caramel. Finish has a light spicey note. Kind of out of balance although it is quite standard hefeweizen.

Bottled (Beerangel, BB 08/2009). Pale yellow color, decent white head. Buttery, grassy hoppy and a bit grainy nose. Sweet malty, slightly buttery flavor with some grassy hoppyness. Decent maltyness, but otherwise this perhaps more "pilsner" than helles.

Bottled (Beerangel, BB 06/2009). Golden color, small mostly vanishing white head. Sweet corn, wet paper and buttery hoppyness in the nose. Vegetably-grassy flavor. Quite sticky-fizzy carbonation. Watery malt profile. Some buttery and wooden notes. Kind of unbalanced pils, and feels more Czech than German.

Bottled (Beerangel, BB 06/2009) as "Holzkirchner Oberbrau Weisse". Slightly hazy yellow color, huge cloudy white head. Aroma of bubblegum and rubber gloves. Quite light, watery body, crisp carbonation. Citrusy, honey melon flavor. Light sour note too. Kind of refreshing weizen, but bland and unthrilling.

Bottled (from beerangel.de). Hazy orangeish golden colour with small off-white head. Aroma is banana, wheat and mild rubbery notes. Also some slight fudge. Flavour is caramel, whear, banana, some spices, yeast and very mellowly mixed. Refreshing and really nice German Hefezeizen.

Bottled (from beerangel.de). Aroma is grass, hops, some mild grainy notes. Flavour is malts, hops, some saltwater. A rather "empty" beer with no big joys at all. It’s not bad, its just boring.

Bottled (from beerangel.de). Hazy yellow colour, big foamy white head. Aroma is wheat, lemon and some hints of earth. Flavour is wheat, some lemon, mild herbal notes as well as some earthyness. Wheatbeer + lemon seems to work better than radler does... Mild rubbery notes as it gets warmer, otherwise it would be rather pleasant.

Bottled (from beerangel.de). Clear yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is very much sweet lemonjuice along with some lemongrass. Flavour is lemon, some malts and even mild hoppyness. Oily palate afterwards. Quite grassy and rubbery in the finish. For once a quite drinkable Radler.
