Beers from Germany
Beer #3289 is a stout brewed by Insel-Brauerei in Germany. A smooth creamy stout with a firm roasty bitterness, coffee, hint of licorice, some chocolate. There’s a sweetness behind the scenes but it’s the roastiness you notice. The 7.5% ABV…
Beer #3279 is a bitter brewed by Insel-Brauerei in Germany. My first from this German brewery and not the last either as I’ve got two more of theirs in the fridge. Moderate bitterness, mostly dry but a touch of sweetness,…
Beer #2931 is a pilsner brewed by Krombacher in Germany. For a non alcoholic beer this is pretty decent. It’s grainy, citrusy, maybe a touch perfumey, and has a nice bitterness to it. I’ve had far worse full strength beers.…
Beer #2853 is a wheat ale brewed by Weihenstephan in Germany. It’s still strictly a beer so I’ll include it in my mission. It’s not alcohol free, coming in with a 0.5% ABV. It’s a bit on the thin side,…
Beer #2761 is a dark ale brewed by Hoss in Germany. So much for best laid plans! I couldn’t resist having a proper beer and thankfully it’s a good one, a sweet malty dark lager, smooth and creamy, with caramel,…
Beer #1743 is a dunkel brewed by Schlosbrauerei Kaltenberg in Germany. A fairly enjoyable but pretty mild dunkel, tasting of sweet caramel with some chocolate. It’s low on bitterness but it’s drinkable if nothing special. The bottle size is 500ML…
Beer #1560 is a smoked ale brewed by Brauerei Heller in Bamberg, Germany. A surprisingly enjoyable ale, sweet malt, mild bitterness, and a wonderfully restrained (by Rex Attitude standards anyway) smokiness that permeates the entire brew. A salty finish rounds…
Beer #1473 is a lager brewed by Holsten-Brauerei in Hamburg, Germany. A German lager (I think) that is 0.0% abv, they claim. It’s slightly sweet and malty, and it tastes like candy water. Not impressed in the slightest, but having…
Beer #1470 is a wheat ale brewed by Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Son in Kelheim, Germany. A very rich sweet ale (supposedly a wheat beer but it tastes nothing like one to me). Lots of plum upfront and a nice…
Beer #1465 is a wheat ale brewed by Weihenstephan in Germany. A surprisingly good wheat beer given the fact that it’s alcohol free (or around the 0.5% at a guess anyway). It’s yeasty, a little sour (but not as much…
