I'm new to blogging. Hi! I've decided to blog about beer...nice huh? Todays post is all about a lovely Bavarian gem I found. The brewery is Der Hirshbrau of Sonthofen Germany. I mean this is real German beer peeps, these beers have minimal english on them. In fact, they seem to have added some English over the past year i've been drinking their beers. Ok enough of that, what am I having today? Dunkler Hirsch, a dark wheat beer 5.2 ABV. Poured into a traditional Hefeweizen glass, its a dark copper with some rust colour in there too. The head was a decent two fingers thick. Cool. I had a good sniff, got some sweet malty scents with a little spice thrown in, but nothing remarkable. So what does this taste like? First mouthful.....is surprising for its lack of heaviness. Its kinda tangy, and I can taste banana bread right off the bat. I also got a bit of bitterness and a toasty, caramely aftertaste. Ok. so this is a decent beer, well crafted and with enough stuff going on to keep me interested. Not my favourite brew from these guys, but not bad at all. This beer came in a 4 bottle gift pack, so I will sample all of them and give you my verdict. Till next time peeps, keep the glasses full!
