Paulaner Nockherberger

Draught Shining, if cloudy orange beer with fine pearling to good, irregular off-white head. Light sourish, fruity & yeasty, esters (for a bottom-fermented beer!). Very balanced flavours; sweet, sourish and bitterish, with always fruity notes. Clean, despite the esters. Nutmeg retronasal. Medium bodied, slick, but refreshing. Really EXCELLENT Kellerbier - more than worth the climb to the hilltop. Amazing Paulaner can turn out such superb sample, whilst their alter-ego Hacker-Pschorr excells in totally fade beers.

(7/4/08) Draught at Paulanerkeller am Nockherberg in Munich. Cloudy orange color with a medium white head. Aroma of malt, a bit of yeast, some citrusy hints and some hops. Flavor begins a bit sweetish with citrus notes and turns bitter with a long hoppy and grassy finish. Medium-bodied. A really good Kellerbier.

Tap. Cloudy yellow, white lace. Neutral light fruity aroma. light peachy base, dry hoppy counter. Medium to light body, ok chewyness. Orangepeel and leaf aftertaste.

(Draught at Paulaner Nockherberger "Keller" in München) Shady yellow color, fluffy white head. Malty, grainy, herbal hoppy scent. Citrusy and floral hoppy taste. Medium to the spritzy zide mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Fresh malty aftertaste.
