Kreisla 36 Export (Hummel, Göller, Höhn, Drei Kronen)

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.

Göller Märzen

Göller Märzen is quite dry and fruity for the style with a lingering semi-dry finish. The Göller beers while not always overly concerned with style restrictions are getting better every time I go out there.
