Review: Bottle of Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu Spezial: ABV: 5.2%
Using the soft pure brewing water from the Black Forest.
Looks fantastic on pour, very clear golden yellow colour on show.
Despite the photo, the head dies a quick death, very flat, which is a little disappointing
Some slight carbonation.
Apart from a shit head, it looks good..
Had a very nice beery smell, very good, very tinty on the nose, smelling of grains, nice sweet smelling malts with some lemon citrus…
A smooth light crisp drink, not too much to taste,
Bit sour, bit creamy.
Some malts.
Any taste is felt in the aftertaste, with a hoppy bitterness which is manageable,
But overall a very light and smooth drink, but nothing amazing, ok……
