May 14, 2008 Bottle (purchased at the former Wagner-Brauerei, Pottenstein): deep golden to light amber coloured, mid-sized, slowly collapsing off-white head; moderate pale-malty nose with a very distinctive touch of herbal hops; solid bitter sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, very soft MF; aromatic hops in the soft, spicy bitter-sweet finish. A franconian beer of excellent quality............

Sep 16, 2007 Updated: Sep 17, 2007At Wagner in Pottenstein. I ordered a St Georgen Kellerbier and motelpogo ordered this - we both smelled our beers and simultaneously looked up at eachother and said "Wow". This one was an orangey copper colour, clear with good foam. Big peach and apricot fruit, German hops, glue, sweet sweet malt and a chalky finish. Massive flavours and massive deliciousness. Absolutely awesome stuff. If you are reading this go directly to Pottenstein - it’s awesome (the whole place I mean, not just this beer).

Sep 11, 2005 Medium finely laced head which barely subsides. Orangle body with continuous carbonation. Lovely hoppy aroma. Broad, deep taste, dominated by aroma-hops, almost like an American IPA. A very good beer, interesting and highly drinkable.
(0.5l mug on tap at the Bruckmayer brewery inn, which claimed they made it. This was 2005-09-01, so maybe things have changed since 2003. Not sure.)
Probably named after the famous Teufelshöhle (devil’s cave) just outside Pottenstein.
