Kuchlbauer Weisse | 5.2% Bavaria, Germany

£38.40

Brauerei zum Kuchlbauer is a Bavarian Weissbier (wheat beer) specialist. They brew in accordance with the Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516 to traditional recipes using the best local ingredients

One of their flagship beers, this soft, round-bodied Hefeweissbier has delicate and mildly bitter hops and an extremely balanced finish.

Kuchlbauer can be regarded as one of the oldest breweries in the world: it can trace its origins back to 1300 when a brewery in Abensberg obtained official brewing rights from the local court. It is now run by the 9th generation of the Horsch family, who acquired the brewery and the restaurant Zum Kuchlbauer in 1904.

Brewing uses their own pure water from a private well and self-bred strains of yeast. They have long-term procurement partnerships – including organic producers – supplying hops from the Hallertau, Bavarian Jura and Gäuboden grown barley.

Tasting Notes: Golden colour with a typical wheat beer haze; medium carbonation gives a frothy, lasting head. Aromas are of wheat and malt with nuances of apricot, banana and clove. The palate is soft with a good balance of a little sweetness and delicate bitterness.
