Hetzelsdorfer Vollbier
Brauerei Penning Zeißler

Pours an amber to orange color with a huge, fine pored, stable eggshell dyed head.

Smells is of copper accentuated caramel malts, lighter grains and a whiff of matured hops.

Drinks quite refreshing with a well nuanced, lively carbonation showcasing the light bodied beer perfectly.

Tastes of sweeter malts, coated by bread dough and dried barley, wet garden herbs and a note of additional caramel. This turns dryer then, balanced by equally sweet malts with a gentle note of toasted nuts at the back end. Finishes with lots of toffee, even some licorice, calming hops and grains, creating a dryness accompanied sweetness, which goes down easily and pleasant.

Well done Vollbier which manages to appear strong headed and leveled at the same time, due to a well working interaction between powerful, sweet and gentle malts and dry hops.

De Landbierparadies. En copa hefe de Bavaria. Jugando a Slay the Spire y, luego, a Shenmue. Llena de rica malta. Quizas no sea un dechado de sabores y aromas, pero se bebe muy bien, dejandote con ganas de mas durante largo rato

Pours a clear amber with offwhite coarse foam that reduces quickly to a thin layer
Aroma is of bready malts and yeast, bordering vegetal, coffe notes
Taste is bready malts, almost no bitterness
Very fine stinging carbonation, appropriate rather thin body
Amber is never a good color for me as I hardly ever like the required malt combination. Nothing wrong but also not exciting

 

 

Half litre bottle, poured a medium tanned head, amber colour, clear, oily on top. Smelled slightly off fruits that gave way to grassy malts. Fairly bitter roasted malty taste, long roasted malty finish, not too much going on. Light to medium carbonation, medium mouthfull and body. Vollbier is a broad description which doesn't mean much. Not the most interesting, more like a dunkel than anything else.
