Brauerei Betz Reviews

Moravius	2.7 Frauenstein Pils "Frauenstein Pils", Flasche aus dem Brauereiverkauf in Winklarn. - Goldgelb, schwach trüb. - In der Nase zart keksig-vanillesüßes helles Malz und blasse, etwas gequälte Hopfenherbe. - Antrunk plump und derb zitronenschalig-hopfenherb mit breiter, teigiger Malzigkeit. Milder rezent, für ein Pils etwas dick. Im Abgang breite aber aromenleere Bittere mit Anklängen an Hopfenextrakt. Muffiger Nachtrunk. - Auch das Pils ist wie die anderen beiden Lohnbiere, die Würth für Betz braut, allzu simpel, zwar kräftig aber derb gehopft und von plumper Malzigkeit. Leider kenne ich die originalen, von Betz gebrauten Biere nicht, aber ein Vergleich mit den früheren Bewertungen legt nahe, daß die Lohnbiere nicht annähernd deren Qualität erreichen. (10.10.2019.)

Moravius	2.4 Frauenstein Gold Export "Frauenstein Gold Export", Flasche aus dem Brauereiverkauf in Winklarn. - Orangegold, schwach trüb. - In der Nase teigig süßliches Malz, matte Hopfenherbe, Anklänge an Holzleim. - Antrunk süßlich orangenfruchtig mit matter, alter Hopfenherbe. Durchschnittlich rezent, für ein Export ziemlich dünn. Im Abgang matte hopfenwürzig-kräuterige Herbe. - Einfach gestricktes, süßlich-dünnes Export mit banaler Hopfung. (8.10.2019.)

Moravius	2.5 Frauenstein Hell Das "Frauenstein Hell" der Brauerei Betz, "gebraut und abgefüllt in der Privat Brauerei Würth, Windischeschenbach", Flasche aus dem Brauereiverkauf in Winklarn. - Goldgelb, leicht trüb (da unfiltriert). - In der Nase milde zitronige Hopfung, kekssüßes helles Malz, zarte Hefe. - Antrunk mild hellmalzig mit feiner zitrusfruchtiger Herbe, die in Verbindung mit der deutlichen Malzsüße leicht limonadig wirkt. Milder rezent, dünn bis wäßrig. Im Abgang sehr milde kräuterige Herbe. - Allzu simples Helles, angenehm gehopft aber ohne Malzcharakter und ohne jeden Tiefgang. (28.9.2019.)

Maria	3.4 Frauenstein Pils It’s hazy golden with a white head and the aroma has notes of malt, bread and light butterscotch and flower. The flavor has a light sweetness and the same notes as the aroma - just like in the Hell, I love the bread notes. Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Maria	3.4 Frauenstein Hell It’s slightly hazy golden with a creamy, white head. The aroma has notes of malt, bread, light butterscotch and flower. The flavor has a light sweetness and the same notes as the aroma, and the finish is dry. I love the bready feel about this one, it’s quite harmonic. Tuesday, February 21, 2012
pivnizub	3.2 Frauenstein Hell Bottle (purchased at the brasserie): Hazy, pale golden, big stable lacy white head; grainy nose, a bit cellary; moderate, almost robust bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering bitter-hoppy and grainy finish. Very satisfying Helles.... Sunday, December 12, 2010
pivnizub	2.9 Frauenstein Pils Bottle (purchased at the Brauerei): Golden, a bit unclear, grainy to herbal-medical nose; medium-sized, lacy white head; moderate bitter-sweet flavour; slightly lingering bitter-sweet finish. O.K., but not very Pilsner-like.... Sunday, December 12, 2010
pivnizub	3.4 Frauenstein Gold Export Bottle (purchased at the Brauerei): Unclear, light golden to golden, visible carbonation, small lacy white foamy layer; light to moderate but distinctive herbal-hoppy nose, otherwise dominated by malt and straw, even some bisquits are detectable; mild to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, soft and quite light bodied; lingering aromatic-hoppy and bisquity-malty fine. Unspectacular, but a fine rural Export...... Monday, December 6, 2010
jonas	3.2 Frauenstein Pils Bottle. Danke Günther. Hazy green golden, fluffy white head. Light grainy malt aroma, grassy, earthy hops. Mineral base, straw malt, medium body, ok chewyness, light herbal/metallic hop profile. Rough, but moreish. Tuesday, November 23, 2010
jonas	3.7 Frauenstein Gold Export Bottle, thanks pivnizub. Green golden colour, busy carbonation, big lacing white head. Green citric and grassy aroma. Light grainy malt base, light and sparkly mouthfeel yet chewy, good hop profile to counter - grassy, aromatic, citric, finishes on a herbal and grassy note. Delicious. Wednesday, November 17, 2010

MoritzF	3.3 Frauenstein Pils (bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a big and blond foamy head. Slightly strawy malty and herbal, slightly spicy hoppy aroma with a tinge of draff. Moderately bitter flavour with a light but rounded malty sweetness, light to medium bodied with a crispy carbonation. Soft pale malty taste with herbal hoppy accents; bitter-sweet, slightly draffy and herbal hoppy finish. As all of the Betz beers this one is not a world-class gem but is very suitable as a decent and solid session beer. 14.VIII.10 Saturday, August 14, 2010
MoritzF	3.2 Frauenstein Gold Export (bottle) Clear, golden colour with a blond fluffy foam. Strawy and slightly doughy malty aroma with herbal hops.

Balanced and likeable. 13.VIII.10 Saturday, August 14, 2010
MoritzF	3.1 Frauenstein Hell (bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Discreet aroma of mildly strawy malt and herbal hops. Slightly sweet and bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Pale malt character with herbal hops from the beginning; moderately dry and bitter herbal hoppy finish. Flawless session beer. 13.VIII.10 Saturday, August 14, 2010
bierkoning	2.3 Frauenstein Hell Malty, dusty aroma. Just a bit of a barnyard smell. Herbal bitter flavor with a hint of peppermint. Malty and medecinal. Somewhat dirty and dusty. Anotehr bottle tasted in 2010 tasted cleaner and a bit more grassy, but never gave the impression that this is an over average beer. Thursday, September 16, 2004
bierkoning	2.6 Frauenstein Gold Export Malty flavor with cake dough and some bitterness. Just a hint of soap. Full bodied. Soapy bitter aftertaste. Wednesday, September 8, 2004
bierkoning	2.6 Frauenstein Pils The brewery almost looks like a ruine, but beer is still brewed (for how long ?!). Creamy head. Hayaroma. Barnyard. Hopbitter, oily, hay-like flavor. Apple and orange. Rather a dirty aftertaste, but the pils has lots of flavor and is not without some quality. Wednesday, September 8, 2004
