Veldensteiner Mandarina Bavaria Weissbier is a lovely Craft Beer take on a Bavarian style with Bavarian aroma hops which impart a refreshing citrusy element to the palate. The lingering finish is surprisingly dry and semi-bitter.
Kürzdorfer Bockbier Dunkel had a gorgeous pour with a chestnut hue and ample rocky off-white head. It took forever. A mix of roast, dark chocolate malt and hops in the nose carry over into the richly malty palate.
Held-Bräu Weizenbock is one gorgeous beer and possibly the best dark Weizenbock I’ve ever had in Franconia. It’s roasty for the style and I’d generally not like that but in this one it really works as it interplays with the hops in a subdued way. The lingering finish is sublimely dry for the style and shows a little less alcohol in this style can be a good thing at 6.9%.
Veldensteiner Frühlings is a rich malty typical of the style with a signature spicy element and a hint of roast before the lingering, semi-dry, semi-bitter finish.
Veldensteiner Rotbier is a nice mix of malt and hops with a clean, dry finish that's perfectly bitter.
Benaburger/Brunnhuber Zoigl/Bier is a balanced richly malty unfiltered beer with some caramel in the nose and a hint of roast in palate. The finish is lingering, semi-dry and semi-bitter.
