Wilde Rose Bräu Maibock
Brewery: Wilde Rose Bräu (formerly contract brewed by Franken Bräu)
Town: Bamberg
Style: Hellerbock
Color: in Krug so no visuals
Head: white, protruding
Nose: malty, hint of hops
Body: medium
Palate: malty, slightly dry, fruity, firm hops
Finish: clean, bittersweet
Served: on tap at the Wilde Rose Keller
Impression: The Wilde Rose may not brew their own beer but the recipes are reported to have been passed down for some time. Whoever does brew them is doing a fine job and there are few places as pleasant to drink a beer than in this leafy Bierkeller. This Maibock is a lovely one, richly malty but with lots of hops which makes for a clean, slightly bitter finish. It’s dangerously drinkable but remember you have to get back down the hill.
Next beer or back to the beer list.
