Rittmayer Landbier

Tap to rate

Delicately spiced malt notes meet a pronounced hop aroma: the nose is hoppy with a light malt backdrop, the palate malty with fruit and a firm hoppy finish. Brewed with Tettnang aroma hops and barley malt, golden and sparkling, with a generous malt fullness. A lager from the Rittmayer family brewery in Hallerndorf, whose tradition reaches back to 1422.

◎ Appearance

Bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that builds and clings to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden. Lively carbonation is evident throughout, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising from the base. The beer presents a polished, inviting appearance characteristic of a well-crafted Helles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a pronounced hop character derived from Tettnang aroma hops, layered with delicate spice and herbal notes. Beneath the hoppy top note lies a light malt foundation, subtle and clean without any yeasty or eggy notes. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with good aromatic complexity for its gentle strength.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a soft, malty sweetness that carries gentle fruit undertones—apple and light stone fruit—followed by a firm hop bitterness that builds steadily through the mid-palate. The body is full and satisfying without heaviness, with a clean grain character and a dry, slightly crisp texture that prevents any cloying sensation. The finish is driven by noble-hop bitterness with lingering spice.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and decisive, with the Edelhopfen bitterness persisting cleanly on the palate and at the back of the throat. A gentle warmth and herbal dryness linger without any harsh edges, inviting another sip.
