Brauerei Bayer Fastenbock
Brewery: Bayer (Zum Grünen Baum)
Town: Theinheim
Style: Heller Bock
Color: unfiltered golden
Head: white, creamy
Nose: richly malty, hint of apricot
Body: medium, very soft
Palate: richly malty, fruity, grainy, underlying hops
Finish: lingering, semi-dry, semi-bitter
Served: on tap at the brewery
Impression: This is a gorgeous Hellerbock with apricot notes and a long, dry, slightly bitter finish. I’m not sure of the alcohol but dangerously drinkable in half-liter pours. I looked on Untapped and I see it’s only 6% which would account for the lighter than typical body and drinkability.
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
