Kaiser Heirich Urstoff

Well, well, well, the beer reviews have been neglected fro a wee while, but don't let that fool you into thinking I ain't been drinking! And, the fruits of my labours are to be laid before you know!

Behold! the Kaiser Heinrich Urstoff.



This is an amber coloured "Helles". The nose on this is nutty and dry. When I tasted this one, I wrote "autumn grass & a tad dusty" in my notes referring to the aroma. For flavour, I scribbled down "light honey & toffee", a "mid range sweetness, perhaps even banana if you can convince yourself of it". The bitterness is only present at the long end of the flavour and it is not strong. I identify this as a cross-over between a summer and autumn beer, which wasn't ideal when I tasted it in mid-July, and might be much more suitable now!

I hereby grant a 5 out of 7.

I also noted that this beer had an "English-ale" tone, but without the added dishwater!
