Ostheimer Bürgerbräu Vollbier
Ostheimer Bürgerbräu

 

This vollbier pours a light yellowish orange color with a medium, white, frothy head and a fairly high amount of carbonation. The scent is yeasty and a little ascerbic with a pilsener-like quality. The flavor is also quite pilsener-like with a yeast quality. There is however a fairly strong wheat character that is not typical of pilseners. The aftertaste is also not nearly as ascerbic as a typical pilsener or as the smell would have me believe. There are some mild fruit flavors and a mild, but noticeable hop character that come through in the aftertaste as well. The body is very light and the finish is quite smooth, making this a really nice choice for summer. It’s a good drinking beer. Nothing too great or all that special, but I would get it again on a hot day or if I was just looking something to mix in when doing some recreational drinking.
