Knoblach in Schammelsdorf

*sigh*

I think you're still missing my point. I separate "bitterness" from "hoppiness" and "hop flavour". This is a common distinction among beer geeks, it's not something I've simply made up. 

Knoblach's beers, when I was there, were fairly bitter (nicely so, not overly so), but not very hoppy, because there wasn't much hop flavour, nor much hop aroma.  It's a decently bitter beer, but doesn't taste very hoppy. Can you appreciate the difference?

Flavour perception is greatly affected by aroma. You can't smell bitterness, but you can smell hoppiness. 

Griess Kellerbier, OTOH, is bitter, but is also loaded with hop flavour, as well as other flavours, some of which some people don't like. It can be downright funky.

About Witzgall. I was trying to help distinguish the names of the villages, as they've been mixed up in this thread and elsewhere. Didn't mean to bring up the beer.

But yes, the Vollbier is a fine, balanced Franconian beer. (Or a fränkisches Bier.)
