Impfstöffla

Tap to rate

Impfstöffla, Franconian dialect for a little vaccine, was launched in early 2021 during the pandemic and has stayed in the range as a bottled lager. It pours a brilliant golden yellow with a fairly stable head. Grain and a hint of freshly cut grass make up the nose. The palate is grainy and firm, with mixed-grain bread, resin and a bitter honey note, and the beer has real bite through a medium body before finishing dry and hop-edged.
