Hövels Original

Brewed by Dortmunder Actien Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Dortmund, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

It’s a nice red-golden color and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel, The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of caramel, malt, dry citrus, that grows more dry throughout the entire finish.

Very nice, a little sweet but very strong. i liked the colour considering it was more than a lager.

Plain Jane beer (bottle, Irish pub in Leipzig) but impressive lacing and bubbles.Hops are fairly bitter. Likable though. Bartend lady gave me a free Radeberger to take home. Was she on crack?? I love her though still.

Bottle. Bronze and surprisingly bitter. Very clear with no carbonation and some traces of citrus. Reminded me of a premium bitter. Pleasant.

500ml bottle: poured clear orange. The head is beige and small. Very little aroma- just slight hops and a tad bit of orange perhaps. Flavor is pretty short as well. Just a bit of hops, slight citrus. Herbal notes with a light sweetness turning into a mildly sour finish. Decent.

Bottle. Amber colour with a beige head. Aroma is caramel, hop, malt. Flavour is caramel, malt, fruit. medium body. Ordinary beer.

Bottle in Berlin, and what a nice bottle too: the flip top made an earshattering POP when flipped. Pours with lots of carbonation, but the head settles down into afairly loose head. A deep ruby red coloured body. Very dry, lots of hops and some limey citrus. Its like drinking a German version of a bitter, but served cold. Very light & refreshing with a long finish holding some sweet notes.
