Riedenburger 5-Korn Urbier

Brewed by Riedenburger Brauhaus
Style: Specialty Grain
Riedenburg/Altmühltal, Niederbayern, Germany

(Bottle 33 cl) Very beautiful - and slightly hazy - amber colour with a nice head, that never really disappears. Incredibly malty from the five different grains in this beer as indicated in the beer’s name. Impressive! Very soft and sweetish from the loads of malt with a very discreet bitterness. Massive sediment - not typical for Germany. And this beers keeps surprising: it’s both organic and top-fermented. Excellent. 030305

Hazy amber, orange colored brew with a little head. Looks like a Belgian :-) Smells light, some weird soapy mustard seed taste with grainy intervalls.

Light pleasant nose. Cloudy near opaque orange color with a tall creamy frothy head. Think creamy malt that is complex - fruity and grainy. Some apple, and citrus at the end. Rough, like a good homebrew, but that’s what’s good about this.

This is a quite fresh brew. Sparkling body with hints of sourishj fruits and a sweet finish and palate.

A red-brown beer with a fine but disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of roasted bread, citrus, and oranges. The flavor is just sweet malty with notes of roasted bread.

Fiery amber coloured. Notes of caramel in the aroma. Sweet and malty flavour with a touch of sour wheat.

Bottled
Orange-amber color, nice creamy head, extrem cloudy. Aroma is slighty sourish (lemon), somewhat grainy and a kind of spicy. Flavor is malty and grainy, first quite sweet but than drier with a light bitter aftertaste.

Fully hazy foxy colour; cream-coloured, serious, dense head, dissipating. Chalk, coffee cream in the nose, but also slightly sourish, wheat-like. Taste of All-Bran,wholewheat flakes, with caramel coating. For bio-nuts without weight-problems. "Earthy taste", they say. Must be a lot of sugar spilled on that Altmühltal soil. Light to medium body, but thin palate, mineral water-like. Again nuts in the aftertaste - or is it just oxidation? Duh. Nothing very exceptional. Maybe very rustic - but I doubt it. I prefer the Einkorn - by far.
