Town: Michelbach an der Lücke (Waldhausen)
Style: unfiltered Pils
Color: unfiltered golden

Served: on tap at the Gasthaus Adler in Rot am See
Impression: This was one refreshing looking beer, was nicely poured and a much better looking beer than the two in their regular line-up. When I called the brewery about visiting with unfortunately too short a notice, I was told to try the Hefepils at the Gasthaus in Rot am See. It was a new special beer that would not be bottled as it had a very short shelf life. It had a great citrusy nose with some yeast and that’s pretty much what it tasted like. It was a perfect beer for the day: a very refreshing summer beer!
