Normally I include a link to the official website to the brewery, but this one is in German. So, I’m giving another site which gives good information about the brewer/beer. The beer itself is pretty low in alcohol content, being 3.1%.
When I poured this beer it had some nice head retention. Man, was this beer extremely pale and somewhat hazy. It was very active in the bottle…downright spritzy.
As far as aroma is concerned, it was slightly vinegary/lactic on the nose. It had some nice fruity qualities intermingled with a touch of grain.
The beer had a nice sour tart quality to it along with a slight grain taste. The sour/tart qualities are very likely linked to the process of open fermentation that is used in the brewing process (i.e., wild yeasts find their way into the beer). I found it to be very woody in taste and dryness. There was also a sweet maltiness. Have you ever had naan? I think this beer had the quality of naan cooked in ghee. And as odd as it is to say so, the aftertaste smacked of corn chips. The beer was undeniably unique, and I genuinely enjoyed it. Pick one up if and when you come across it. Enjoy!
