Arcobräu Mooser Liesl
Brewed by Arcobräu Gräfliches Brauhaus
Style: Helles
Moss, Bavaria, Germany
Arcobräu is a brewery in the Lower Bavarian small town of Moos, in South Eastern Germany, close to the Austrian and Czech borders. The brewery has been owned by the Arco-Zinneberg family for 450 years and is one of the larger breweries in the region with annual sales regularly hitting the 20 million Euro mark.
Having a recorded history dating way back to 1567, but it was not until the merger of various family-owned breweries in 1960 that today’s company Arcobräu with its headquarters in Moos was built. In the early 1990s, Arcobräu took over a number of smaller breweries in Eastern Bavaria. From 2014 to 2016 they continued this habit of acquisitions, taking over the brewery Irlbach, and the Eschenbacher private brewery, and in cooperation with the Grünbacher brewery based in Erding. Reminds me of that gag in Only Fools and Horses about Triggers old broom which had 17 new heads and 14 new handles!!
Review: 0,5l bottle of Arcobräu Mooser Liesl: 5.3% vol.
Cool looking blue logo, woman with a pitcher on the nice brown bottle.
On pour we get a light golden yellow colour, with a small whitish head appearing. Looks not too bad at all, pretty good on the eye.
Head maintains well, some good lacing.
Colour went a bit hazy after a while, but still a looker overall.
Typical fruity aroma on the nose, very malty, lots of grains and wheat, grassy smell. Not bad.
Tastes citrusy and grainy, and very light, clean and easy to drink.
Get an awful lot in the bottle, which is always good.
Slightly hoppy, but light and not a bother, and well balanced with the malts and fruits.
An enjoyable beer without been anything amazing, very easy to drink.
Taste is sweet malts, light hop tastes, mild bitterness, all blended well to give a very well balanced beer.
Not bad, refreshing and enjoyable, clean and soft on the tongue, and smooth enough. Inoffensive but did the business. Might buy again!
