Hopfen Dolde - Pils

Hopfen Dolde is the classic in the range of fine Franconian specialties from the Hopfengarten brewery Bamberg's smallest brewery brews with its own hops from the family nursery and uses the aromatic Perle variety for its Hopfen Dolde pilsner This hop, traditional in Franconia and Bavaria, brings a flavor profile to the beer that delivers hints of mint and pine as well as a delicate spiciness This aroma harmonizes wonderfully with the natural bitterness and astringency of the pilsner and gives it a playful quality

The dewy Bamberg Pils flows into the glass in a color that is quite unusual for the style: Hopfen Dolde comes in a crystal-clear copper red and is crowned with a hand's breadth of ivory-colored foam A surprisingly malty aroma emerges from the ruby-red beer and combines with floral hops on the nose, The first sip reveals a slender but full-bodied taste that unfolds with a soft fullness on the palate A sweet bed of malt, tasting of freshly baked bread and cereals, blossoms into a bouquet of hops: Lime, grass and summer flower meadow A pointed bitterness rounds off the smooth beer enjoyment harmoniously and leads into a hop-resinous finish with dry yeast spice

Hopfen Dolde from the hop garden is an unconventional pilsner with flavor and character
