Schlossbrauerei Reckendorf Helle Freude

Schlossbrauerei Reckendorf Helle Freude is a bright golden Munich style Helles. The impressive head doesn’t last as long as you’d like but it’s got an alluring nose and of grain and mown grass. It’s malt forward with a nice grainy quality. Underlying hops dry it out enough in the lingering semi-dry semi-bitter finish.

Knoblach Ungespundetes Lagerbier gravity

Knoblach Ungespundet Lager is a hop forward but balanced low carbonation session beer. There’s noble hops in the nose and palate. It’s a great example of a hoppy beer having plenty of malt backbone. The lingering finish is quite dry and bitter but not overly so.
