Hacker-Pschorr Anno 1417

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Zwickel/Keller/Landbier
Munich, Germany

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fully collapsing white head. Mild fruity hops aroma and mild orange citric note. Fruity and sweet malty flavour. Shows some yeast mixed with the sweet malt flavours. Ends mild spiced to herbal with a vague bitterness.

hoppy smell, nothing too strong; has a full flavour that is certainly complete in body and a somewhat ‘bready’ taste, you certainly get grains and roastings in there, but leads into a pleasant, full tasting beer; not too bitter after taste, I am still getting bread.

Bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a huge offwhite head. Grassy hops and fruity toffee aroma. Pepper and grassy hops, some caramel, definitely also some fruit flavours. Medium body. A great kellerbier.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a hazy light orange beer with a white head. Some hops in the nose which is rather wheaty. Notes of banana, toffee, lemon and mint. Biscuity taste. Notes of banana and toffee. Nicely balanced. A slight hint of gooseberries showing up. Peppery. Decent bitterness. Mediocre lacing. Dry finish with a hint of melissa accompanied by licorice. A great beer.

Swingtop. Pale witbier-like haze. Grassy, lemony, piney hop snout, with wafts of rubber and garden herb as it warms. Rubbery and citric, with moderate bitterness, a pleasantly soapy hop presence, some wheaty softness in the aftertaste. Bit of a floury finish. Mellow keller drinking like an unfiltered hell with a splash of weiss. Saw a few bums swigging this around Munich and feared the worst, but I salute their good taste. Decent and refreshing.

swing top bottle (500ml). -Pours a nice cloudy orange colour with medium to big white head and dusty grassy nose. Malty and bready with notes of caramel and hops. Slight hop bitterness in the finish. Nice and very drinkable kellerbier.

Bottle. Strange smell, very sweet, bananas, plum and honey. Medium sized creamy white head, orange flat body. Moderate sweet, short duration. Watery texture, light body, soft carbonation.

Poured to a golden yellow beer with a white head. Aromas of yeast and wheat. Not a strong flavored beer and the finish was watery. The thing that captured my attention was it’s smoothness. Not very flavorful but a good overall beer.
