St. Erhard isn’t just beer - It’s beer culture!
There is a bunch of less than complimentary things about this beer to be found in comments, but then they might miss the point that this isn't a 'normal' beer to be compared to other beers they might have had. Who knows? I don't.
Wet biscuit type aroma, which would be par.
It looks really good in the bottle and in the glass, clear as a bell, and a rich chestnut colour, it pours with a reasonable head, added to which it looks nicely carbonated.Aroma is nothing to write home about.
Richer in taste than a lager, slightly sweeter and tang-ier. It's not what you think it tastes like and I'm reaching for a beer similar to give you an idea, but failing.
Less hoppy than say a Pilsner and sweeter with more malts in it this seems to be an 'everyman' beer,
The pdubyah-o-meter rates this as 7 a of its things from the thing.
The double dip review
- Am I enjoying it? Both yes and no, I think it might be too malty sweet though.
- Would I have another? Yes probably, its a nice beer for sitting in the sun.
- Would I share with a friend on a porch and set the world to rights? Of course, but not for any discourse that would take ages because you'd get bored of this I think.
I'm listening to "Depford Goth" which as always is new and challenges me to drink new beer and listen to new musics. This is a track "Feel Real" which actually isn't on the album I'm listening to, but if you're on Spotify the Album I am listening to "Songs" is here http://t.co/wMtu2RMIku

It has that low key melodic lyric moodiness about it.
ZWICKEL/KELLER/LANDBIER
Three related, minor, lager styles most common in Franconia. Essentially, these are hoppier versions of a helles, served with natural carbonation and unfiltered - they are the lager worlds answer to real ale. Kellerbier will on average be hoppier than zwickelbier. There is also Landbier, which is more malt-accented, may be filtered, but is similarly lacking in carbonation. Gravity is standard, hop rates ranging from 22-40 IBUs, the colour from pale to reddish-amber and the palate should be balanced with a hop accent.
