Impression: I’d never seen this before and believe it’s a new beer. It seems to be an amped up (5.5%) version of their flagship Lager with a dark hue and malt forward palate. There’s some dark bready notes and touch of roast before the semi-dry finish. Nice.
I'm an American living in Munich. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also just published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria.
