Alte Klosterbrauerei Vierzehnheiligen Brauerei Trunk "Nothelfer Lager"
,5L brown glass bottle, "Mindestens halter bis: 05 01 18" and sampled on 25 09 17
Look: A clear deep gold body is topped by a short head of bright white that drops readily to a standard collar and leaves only minimal lacing about the glass.
Smell: Surprisingly fruity for a lagerbier over a grainy malt base with some mild herbal hops to round it out.
Taste: The fruitiness remains in the flavor suggesting apples and red berries. It's unusual, but it's interesting and pleasant. There's just a light edge of golden caramel or watered down honey to the grainy malt; and grassy and herbal hops step in to liven it towards the swallow. A stiff bitterness balances it and it finishes mostly dry with just a drop of sweetish and lightly fruity malt fading as bitterness rises.
Feel: Medium to medium-light in body with a median, crisp-then-smooth carbonation that gives a gentle bristle to the tongue upfront.
Overall: The poor head retention and lack of lacing hurt it, but beyond that it's fairly nice. The fruitiness is unusual, and gives it a particular character, and there's enough hop flavor and bitterness to balance it. Where it falls in terms of lager styles I'm not sure. It's fruity first of all, and then not bitter enough to be a northern German pils, nor hoppy enough (and lacking Saazer hops) to be a Czech pils. It doesn't have the maltiness to be a Munich-style helles, nor is it what you'd normally expect to find from a common mass-produced Euro lager. So, it's something kind of special and unique.
