Enzensteiner Landbier Hell

Enzensteiner Landbier Hell is a deep golden example of the style with a white head. The malty nose has some grainy notes as does the balanced palate. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. It’s fruity as it warms and though not quite as clean as you might like in the style, the finish has a nice light bitterness.

Pfarrbräu Stout

Pfarrbräu Stout is an unfiltered black example of the style. The balanced palate is malty with light roast notes and fair but understated hops. The lingering finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. It’s quite soft due to the low carbonation. A true Stout on tap regularly available has to be supported.

Wiesener Räuberweisse

Wiesener Räuberweisse from Bürgerliches Brauhaus is a great looking Weizen with a rocky head and fruity nose. It’s got a rounded fruity palate with yeast in peeking in from the nose. It’s also got an earthy quality untypical for the style which gives it a moreish quality. It’s a touch stickier than their other beers but not overly so and certainly not for the style. It’s full-flavored and fruity but remains refreshing, something a Weizen should always strive to be.
