Hummel Weissbier Dunkel

Brewery: Hummel
Town: Merkendorf
Style: Dunkelweizen 5.2%
Color: ruddy brown
Head: off-white, yeasty
Nose: fruity, yeasty
Body: medium
Palate: fruity, yeasty
Finish: lingering, semi-dry

Served: from a bottle bought in Bamberg

Impression: The Hummel Weißbier Dunkel pours with a bit of a lackluster head but otherwise is a textbook looking Dunkelweizen with a fruity yeasty nose and palate. There’s just enough roast in mix to not overpower it. It’s quite yeasty and the lingering finish is relatively dry. It couples well with Weisswurst, the only time I tend to drink the style. Much like their regular Weizen, this is one of the more quaffable if not standouts of the style.

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.
