Winter-Steinbier

Tap to rate

Hot stones in the brew caramelise the malt sugar of this winter stone beer. Caramel, grilled banana and apricot in the nose; full yet fresh in the mouth with lively carbonation, then a long, mild finish of Williams pear, star fruit, Blockmalz and smoke with a gentle sharpness. Naturally cloudy, 6.4%.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Winter-Steinbier

◎ Appearance

Pale straw to light gold, naturally hazy throughout. The cloudiness speaks to the brewing method—suspended particles from the hot stone process catch the light. Vigorous carbonation builds a white, persistent head with fine Schaumkleiden.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with caramel sweetness, followed by gentle grilled banana and dried apricot. A subtle smoke note emerges, likely from the stone-firing technique. The fruit character remains fresh and inviting, without any harsh alcohol vapors.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and welcoming, with lively carbonation creating a crisp entry. Caramel malz sweetness dominates the mid-palate, supported by the stone-derived smoke. Williams pear and star fruit notes develop smoothly, with a gentle sharp edge from the 29 IBU that keeps the whole expression balanced.
