Huppendorfer Vollbier

Tap to rate

The Vollbier is the brewery's best-known beer and a long-standing reference point for the Franconian lager tradition around Bamberg. It pours copper-gold and brilliantly clear under a firm, lightly tinted head. The nose opens with grass and straw, then white bread, honey, nuts and biscuit. On the palate an initial sweetness moves into caramel and bready malt, followed by notes of shortbread, brazil nut and fig. The finish is long, with a light honey tone and restrained bitterness.

◐ Taste

An initial sweetness gives way to caramel and bready malt in the mid-palate, with emerging notes of shortbread, brazil nut, and fig adding complexity. The bitterness is restrained and well-proportioned, allowing the malt character to remain the focal point while providing subtle counterpoint.
