Bürgerbräu Wolnzacher Hell Naturtrüb

Brewed by Bürgerbräu Wolnzach
Style: Zwickel/Keller/Landbier
Wolnzach, Germany

50 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy yellow and with a dense white head. Aroma is slight citric and with a soft malt base. Flavour is slight acidic and mild malty. Finish holds a decent bitterness and a with mild acidity. Seems slight off.

Bottled. Really a beer with a wonderful appearence: cloudy golden, with yeast in suspension. The head is big, white and medium persistent. Nice aroma of bready and biscuity malt, with grassy and herbal notes from the hops. Soft mouthfeel, clean flavours of malt, with some fruitiness, and the right amount of hops. Lightly honeish and caramellish. Light to medium body, average carbonation, medium to long aftertaste. Dry with quite light bitterness. A beer that leaves you with the desire to drink more of it. Very elegant and drinkable, perfect for the summer days, I hope to try it on tap one day. The best Helles, I have tasted so far and one of the best German beers I have ever had. A really great beer.

Hazy, golden coloured body with very strong orange highlights and a huge beautiful tan head. Aroma of malt, fresh hops, wheat, and some sugar. Light-bodied; mild taste of malt and some spices but a very clean finish. After taste shows an effervescent finish with malt the strongest. Overall, a good beer but a bit too mild for me. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from K&E Discount Beverage in New Paltz, NY on 23-June-2007 on the Eastern Shore in Virginia.

Served in a tall footed pilsner glass, the beer is a deep gold, topped by a good inch of nearly white sudsy foam. Pretty good head retention, the lacing is painted thick on the walls of the glass. Sweet and fruity aroma, with a faint wisp of smoke. Quite the sweet beer at first, with caramel-apple and maple syrup. These give way to a slightly drier and lightly hopped character in subsequent sips. Lively carbonation, medium body, tasty and drinkable. Only 5% alcohol? It isn’t boozy by any means, but seems to be more potent than that.

Bottle. A golden orange color with a white head. Dry on the palate with a hay and musty aroma. Mild hops with a fizzy light finish. Rating from December 2005 notes.

The pour is golden with a decent fizzy white head. The aroma is fruity and malty. The flavor is sweet with a touch of fruit and a bit of an acidic sourness. LIght hoppish background and mild bitterness at the finish.

Bottle: Hazy, deep golden coloured, medium-sized off-white layer, slowly diminshing; under a blanket of fruity-estery sourishness (this sample was infected, that’s quite sure..) is a blanket of sweet malt detectable; sweet-bitter (+ sourish) flavour, medium bodied; sweetish (fruity) bitter, a bit tart finish with a lingering hoppiness in the aftertaste. Disappointing - deserves a second chance....though ! Thanx to joss !
