A delicious attic find.
Master brewer Matthias Trum is a true Bamberg legend. He is the boss of the Hellerbräu, which brews the most famous of all Bamberg beers. The Schlenkerla is a Bamberg institution and is drunk all over the world. But Matthias Trum is not resting on the laurels of his ancestors. On the contrary: the resourceful brewer regularly scours the archives in search of old treasures. He has already struck gold more than once. His latest discovery is a recipe based on an ancient brewing process. Bamberger Heinzlein is a low-alcohol beer that thanks to a special brewing technique has a wonderfully intense hops taste.
The roots of the Heinzleins go back to a time when it was much safer to drink beer than to reach for the often dangerously polluted water. The almost alcohol-free Heinzlein quenched the thirst of the working population and was also served to children. We would advise against that today, but for everyone else, Heinzlein is a perfect alternative to more alcoholic beers.
The dark brown can be seen in the color of freshly brewed coffee in the glass. A hazelnut-brown foam crowns the mahogany-colored beer, which turns out to be velvety soft and rich in aroma when started. A good portion of vigorously roasted malt provides a dark aroma profile with notes of mocha, creamy caramel, roasted grain and smoky wood. A hint of hops cleverly rounds off the play of aromas.
Light or dark - we love the Heinzlein!
