Göller Hausbrauerbier has an enticing pale yellow hue, massive rocky head and lightly grainy nose. It’s quite balanced in a malty way considering the relatively low abv of 4.3%. There’s a nice spicy hop element intermingling with the light grain. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter.
Göller Weizenbock ticks the boxes for the style with a fruity palate featuring strong banana in both the nose and plate but I find the finish sticky and it's not particularly complex.
The Genussfestival 2024 was held in medieval marvel Ebern in the Hassberg County of Lower Franconia. Four regional breweries (Göller/Zeil, Bayer/Theinheim, Raab/Hofheim and Hartled/Maroldsweisach) along with communal breweries from Dörflis and Ebern were on hand. A great time was had by all.
The Main River is not only the longest contained in river in Germany so perhaps unsurprisingly important in the brewing world as a source of water and transportation. There are many in Franconia, where the it originates and a particularly scenic stretch is in Lower Franconia. Three towns to seek out for beer on this route are Marktheidenfeld (Martinsbräu), Wertheim (Spessart) and Lohr am Main (Keiler Brauhaus).
Göller Kaiser Urweisse is a good example of the style with a fruity palate and lingering finish.
Göller IPA is a rare miss from this consistent brewery. It looks great but lacks the requisite hops you expect in an IPA.
Göller Sternhauer Weisse is a good example of the style with a fruity palate.
Göller Lager is a good example of the Altfräkisch style with a balanced malty palate and lingering semi-dry finish.
