oh6gdx	3.7 Rittmayer Aischbüffel Eisbock Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small white head. Aroma is chocolaty, roasted, alcohol and somewhat ashy tones.

Goldbarren	2.9 Rittmayer Bitter 42 Kalea-Bieradventskalender 21.12.2023 (Deutschland-Version) Am Heimweg von der Arbeit 🏗️ gönne ich mir dieses bayrisches Pils, das von dich behauptet, dass es das einzig wahre zu sein. Naja, vollmundige 👄 Worte machen noch kein Top-Bier: Es ist intensiv gehopft, was es deutlich von anderen (Industrie -) Pils abhebt, wird aber dadurch schon sehr bitter, dass ich im schon den Namen "Imperial Pils" geben würde. Damit ist es sehr aromatisch und tief, aber auch schwer und es ist weit weg vom spritzigen, fröhlichen Pils. Kann man trinken, wenn man es hopfig mag (ohne auf IPA und dergleichen greifen zu wollen), aber als erfrischendes Pils ist es mir zu hart 🥊. Thursday, December 21, 2023
sparta	2.9 Rittmayer Hallerndorfer Kellerbier Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga. Wednesday, December 20, 2023

51m0	2.4 Rittmayer 1422 Festbier Saturday, December 9, 2023
Alengrin	3.6 Rittmayer Hallerndorfer Hefeweissbier Bavarian Hefeweizen from Rittmayer, one of the world's oldest breweries (allegedly founded in 1422 and therefore celebrating its 600th birthday last year), located in Hallerndorf, some twenty-five miles north of Neurenberg. Considering the sheer age of this brewery and its location at the centre of a style I have been appreciating for some twenty years now, it surprised me that I apparently had not encountered this one before... Poured in a Weissbier 'Vase', it produces a thick, very frothy, audibly crackling, egg-white, pillowy, very mousse-like, slowly retreating head and initially crystal clear, warm apricot blonde robe with 'old golden' hue and columns of sparkling rising up, turning into that lovely Hefeweizen mistiness with the sediment added. Very malty and spicy-phenolic aroma of toasted but unsalted peanuts, freshly baked crackers, apple peel, ripe pear, overripe banana but not too strong, clove, dried rosemary, ginger powder, dried apricots, wet cinnamon, oven-baked pumpkin, freshly cut grass. Fruity onset, crisp apple peel and sweet banana and apricot notes, banana ester not too dominant though, with a slight sourish undertone from the wheat; lively carbonation with minerally effects, lovely wheat-slick yet full mouthfeel, bread-crustiness and even something cracker-like under a smooth sourish and slightly soapy wheatiness, carrying onwards these lovely fruity esters to a more phenolic finish with outspoken clove effect along with subtler rosemary and cinnamon, before a grassy and floral hop bitter element sets in - yet remains relatively meek and mild, as it befits the genre. Something very thinly cooked-meaty (proteins) lags behind. Wheat slickness, fruity esters, clove-like phenolics and very high drinkability: this is indeed a very Bavarian Hefeweizen, but there are sweet-spicy and cracker- to even vaguely gingerbread-like malt elements too which sets this Hallerndorfer Hefeweizen (the label on my sample indeed says 'Hefeweizen' rather than 'Hefeweissbier' but who cares) a bit apart from the other great Bavarian classics in this style. It also carries a bit more grassy hop bitterness than I am used to, yet without entering Hopfenweizen territory (which in fact is a relatively very recent addition to the German Weissbier family). Characterful, colourful and distinctive Hefeweizen: a bit different from what I was expecting, but all the more enjoyable for it. I love a good Hefeweizen (or Dunkelweizen, or even Kristallweizen) every now and then and this one was a delight. Saturday, December 9, 2023
JefVerstraete	3.3 Rittmayer Aischbüffel Thanks Moravius! Dark brown, beige foam. Sweet, fruity, with notes of chocolate, raisins, bitter finish. A bit unbalanced. Thursday, December 7, 2023
weizen-slayer	2.9 Rittmayer Bitter 42 „Die endgültige Antwort auf die Frage nach dem wahren Pils.“ steht groß auf dem Etikett. Ich denke mir noch: „Da nimmt aber jemand sein vorlautes Maul ganz schön voll - Zeit da mal reinzutreten.“ Glas klar, golden schimmernd im Glas. Blumen, etwas Mandarine und Melone in der Nase. Von Frucht bleibt nicht mehr ganz so viel übrig beim Trinken - zu den zuvor genannten kommen aber noch Spuren von Grapefruit und Zitronenschale hinzu. Florale Noten und ein winziger Hauch von Tannennadeln nehmen den freien Platz ein. Sehr, sehr ordentliche Bitternoten - noch nicht übertrieben (aber viel fehlt nicht). Hell getreidige Noten blitzen kurz auf. Ein Hauch Eisen schwingt immer leicht im Hintergrund mit. Für ein Pils hat das Bier eine ganz gute Substanz. Die reichlich vorhandene Kohlensäure nimmt davon etwas raus und macht im Gegenzug das ganze schön lebendig. Ist das tatsächlich „die endgültige Antwort auf die Frage nach dem wahren Pils“? Nein, ist es nicht. Es genügt nicht Unmengen von teurem Aromahopfen in das Bier zu knallen, um die Bittereinheiten hochzupuschen und um neue, IPA-artige Geschmacksnuancen hinzuzufügen. Die allerwenigsten der typischen Pilstrinker werden das honorieren. Und wer auf IPA steht wird ein IPA trinken. Das ist kein schlechtes Bier, aber sicher nicht das beste Pils der Welt. Nicht mal ansatzweise das beste Bier im Programm der Rittmayer-Brauerei. Denn dort tummeln sich so einige Top-Biere, die man tatsächlich als die endgültige Antwort (allerdings auf Fragen, die niemals gestellt wurden) sehen kann. Sunday, December 3, 2023
