Ustersbacher Hefeweizen
This is the first
Weissbier I had that was called Hefeweizen on the label. In general,

sediment flo… Continue reading

Ustersbacher Dunkle Weisse
The aroma is slightly
phenolic with a hint of diacetyl. That diacetyl is a flaw and likely
the result of priming with Speise or Kraeusen. In contrast to
bottling and priming with residual extract, priming with Speise or
Kraeusen wil increase the … Continue reading

Brauerei an der Thomaskirche Pils
This is beer brewed by a brewpub in
Leipzig. It is unfiltered and hazy as a result of that. But even if I

other Pilsner that… Continue reading

Ur-Krostizer
The aroma shows some noble
hop character but is otherwise neutral. The beer tastes neither sweet
nor dry and its bitterness is delicate and noticeable right from the
start. The hop taste is also low and the bitterness lingers only a
little. Based … Continue reading
