The 2024 edition of the Kreisla 36 is an unfiltered Export by four of the five breweries in the Memmelsdorf postal code (Humme, Göller, Höhn and Drei Kronen). I was lucky to be doing a tour out in the area recently and found it on tap at Brauerei Hummel. It had a golden hue and dense creamy head and was quite lively so it took them a fair amount of time to pour. The light grain in the nose foretold a similar balanced palate which was quite dry for the style without a lot of bitterness. The lingering finish was also moreishly dry.
Hummel Festbier Hell is a richly malty brew tinged with both honey and grassy hops. The lingering finish is semi-dry and bittersweet.
