Two classic examples of smokebeer, made according to the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law), from the original source: Bamberg, Germany. Available in Märzen or Weizen styles, these bottom-fermented beers are redolent of smoke and spice, the malts having been dried over a beechwood log fire. The Märzen marries this natural smoke character with chocolate malt, gentle citrus hop zing, and a dry, smoke-filled finish. The Weizen is crisp and dry, with aromas of charred wood intermingling with faint floral notes, spicy clove and wheat flavors that don’t linger overly long on the palate, leaving you thirsty for more. Come taste these two Classics of the beer world, made traditionally since 1405!
Here is a quote from the brewery:
“Even if the brew tastes somewhat strange at the first swallow, do not stop, because soon you will realize that your thirst will not decrease and your pleasure will visibly increase.”
