De Labirratorium. En copa Teku. Jugando a Fortnite (victoria). Perfil alimimonado agradable pero que pasa algo desapercibido y tiene un abv demasiado elevado para lo que aporta aparte de tener una carbonatacion excesiva que obliga a varios servicios

Giesinger Bräu "Gieriger Munique"
,33l brown glass bottle, "mindestens halter bis 18.01.2018" and sampled on 18.09.2017
2,80€ @ Weyermann Fan Shop, Bamberg, DE

This is an interesting beer in that it's a collaboration with Hopsteiner, the German hop supplier. The label states that it's a decoction mash, and then dry-hopped in open fermenters, and undergoes a long lagering at 0˚C. It utilizes unique hops that are strictly limited, "zuchstammmischung" or "chopsticks mix" from a breeding compound dating to 1845.

It's a very hazy golden beneath a full head of fluffy white. There's clearly yeast in the bottle and perhaps I should have tried to decant it better. The head retention is quite good, and although it eventually settles to just a standard collar and light surface covering the lacing that it leaves behind is quite nice. The aroma isn't that hoppy at all, but the flavor is intense. It's fruity (apple, pear), grassy, spicy, and malty and bready with a light touch of caramel, honey, and toastiness. Still, the maltiness is not as heavy or full as I'd normally expect of a helles bock. I'd call it medium leaning medium-full in body as there is some dextrinous character to it, but it's not "full". The carbonation is standard, and it's gently bristling across the palate. The fruitiness lingers in the finish with a slightly different character, although it remains mostly like apple, but perhaps with some sweet red berries added in. It's solidly bitter, and it finishes quite dry with the bitterness lingering for quite some time at the back of the throat.
