Günther-Bräu Pilsner on tap
Brewery: Günther-Bräu
Town: Burgkunstadt
Style: Pils 4.9%
Color: light golden
Head: white, creamy
Nose: nice mix of hops and grain
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, hoppy, light grain
Finish: lingering, semi-dry, semi-bitter
Served: on tap at Royal in Burgkunstadt
Impression: I’d just about given up but my thirst is quenched. Light golden with a creamy head and a lightly grainy/hoppy nose. Tastes pretty much the same with the hops taking the lead. It’s fairly malty and definitely in the Franconian Pils family rather than northern Germany. The finish lingers but not in a bad way. Think I’ll have another. As you can see, I was very thirsty after what was looking like a failed attempt to find a Günther-Bräu beer on tap right in the town where it’s brewed. Not to be denied!
