Spezial Weissbier
Brewery: Spezial
Town: Bamberg
Style: Weißbier
Color: honeycomb
Head: white, creamy
Nose: smoky banana
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, some banana, light smoke
Finish: lingering, semi-dry, semi-bitter
Served: from a bottle at the brewery
Impression: According to some cryptic hand-written notes, I’d had this on one of my early trips to Bamberg in the 90s. I finally gave it another shot after many years and glad I did. It came in a cool kind of retro logo Weissbier glass. It’s very lightly smoky with some classic banana overtones. It’s surprisingly dry and the finish has fair bitterness, especially for the style.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

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. View all posts by beerwanderers
