New Mahr's

Posted by Gerhard Schoolmann on 2012-05-09 06:29:17

Today I have tasted the new beer from Mahr's http://bier.abseits.de/2012/05/mahrs-brau-lagerbier-naturtrub-und.html Maybe the name as a "obergäriges Lagerbier" was chosen because Stephan Michel has used a top-fermenting yeast, but malts from barley, spelled and wheat (in this order of the quantities, but without concrete quantitative disclosures). I have asked a waiter about the name, but she doesn't understand my problem with the name "obergäriges Lagerbier". She told me, that some Japanese use the names Lager, Kellerbier, Ungespundet for all beers from Mahr's (???). For me the new beer tastes not so good: - very turbid - sweet (form the spelled?) - few hops (in relation to the sweet malts) - too low carbonization as a result: low drinkability - amber color
