Body: full
Palate: richly malty, hint of spice, underlying hops

Served: from a bottle bought in Bayreuth
Impression: Gorgeous pour with ample rocky head and enticing pale amber hue. There’s a hint of spice in the richly malty nose. The flavor follows suit with a nice undercurrent of hops to dry it out in the bittersweet finish. Hellerbock with a bit of individuality. Nice.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. 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 published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
