Orca Bräu Pils

Orca Bräu Pils is an unfiltered golden example of the style.The creamy white head and a nose mix of grain and hops are enticing.  The balanced palate is hop forward. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. This is a nice example of bridging traditional Franconian lagers with a touch of Craft Beer in the hopping.

Brauhaus Budenschuster Weizen

Budenschuster Weizen is an unusually hoppy example of the style. Dark honeycomb with a chiffon like rocky head, the nose is an intriguing mix of yeast and hops. The hop forward palate is similarly yeasty with an underlying fruity element. The lingering finish is quite dry especially for a Weizen with fair bitterness.

Wendelsteiner Kellerbier

Wendelsteiner Kellerbier is an unfiltered light amber rustic example of the style. Lots of grain and hops in the enticing nose. The balanced palate is malty with light grain notes and fair hopping. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. It’s quite soft due to the low carbonation. An easy drinker for sure. Definitely like it more than the Schwabach Helles. A Rotbier and Helles was coming up.
