Günther-Bräu Bernstein Lagerbier
Brewery: Günther-Bräu
Town: Burgkunstadt
Style: Lagerbier 4.9%
Color: amber
Head: off-white, rocky, chiffon-like
Nose: grainy, grassy hops
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, grainy, hoppy
Finish: clean, semi-dry, semi-bitter
Served: from a bottle bought in Bayreuth
Impression: Gorgeous amber hue with a lasting rocky head and grainy nose with some grassy hops. I was half expecting this to be a filtered version of their Kellerbier as it’s about the same color and exact alcohol content. This however is much tastier with a balanced hoppy palate and plenty of malt backbone. The clean finish is just dry and bitter enough to make it moreish.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

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
