Impression: This beer was set up to fail. Though I’d found out about the brewery relatively late in my Franconian beer hunting, I’d heard amazing things about it. I’d also had one incredible beer at lunch this very day but I will have to say it lived up to its hype, despite it not being the type of beer I generally go for. It was very much a malt forward, grainy affair but the grain unfolded rather than dominated and in the end, it was just dry enough to make it very much a moreish session beer. It is certainly worth the walk, drive, effort to get to and you could easily drink this all day, every day.
