Mahrs Bräu a U

We Franconians are known for our rough charm and gruff directness We are not a people of many words and grumbling, grumbling and shrugging are just as much a part of our vocabulary as a whole range of dialect-specific expressions and terminology People tend to take us to their hearts at second glance

One of Bamberg's gems is probably the shortest sentence in the world with which you can actually achieve something If you are sitting in the cozy pub or in the shady cellar of Mahrs Bräu, two vowels are enough to order a beer You say "a U" and are immediately served the fine unrounded beer This specialty of the cathedral city has achieved real cult status over the last few decades and is one of the most popular beers in the city and countryside

The unrounded, unfiltered, bottom-fermented beer comes in a shimmering copper amber hue and wears a creamy ivory crown on its naturally cloudy body Spicy yeast, caramel and citrus notes fill the air and make you thirsty for the first sip This reveals a soft mouthfeel, that caresses the tongue with notes of creamy blossom honey, toffee, roasted grain, toast, yeast spice and fresh citrus fruit The final touch is provided by a tart, herbal hop bitterness that elegantly rounds off the palatable beer enjoyment

A Bamberg favorite for good reason!
