Rittmayer Hausbrauerbier

Tap to rate

Bitter-roasty malt and hop notes set this slightly dark Franconian country beer apart: the nose is fruity and malty with fine hop, roasted-malt and yeast notes, the palate fresh and malty with fruit, roast and hop aromas. It follows a historically handed-down recipe, a nod to the old right of country folk to brew their own beer at lower tax. Naturally cloudy.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Rittmayer Hausbrauerbier

◎ Appearance

A naturally cloudy amber beer with a warm, slightly hazy bronze tone. The sediment suspends throughout, characteristic of the Kellerbier style and a nod to its unfiltered heritage. A modest but persistent white head forms, with delicate lacing that clings to the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe fruit notes—apple and stone fruit—layered beneath toasted malt and subtle hop character. A gentle yeast presence adds earthiness and a faint spice, while roasted grain brings warmth without heaviness. Fine Edelhopfen aromatics weave through, contributing herbal restraint.

◐ Taste

The palate enters fresh and malty, with a soft but firm malt backbone that carries roasted grain and gentle bitter notes. Fruit notes emerge mid-palate—apple and subtle stonefruit—balanced against a clean, herbaceous hop bitterness that never dominates. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving a lingering malt sweetness and roasted grain character.
