HusarenTrunk Mengersen’sche Dampfbrauerei. Antique gold ale with soft puff of white stuff. Insect segment lacing turns aborigine. Bread with orange zest, fresh lemon slice, cashew, Spanish peanut, filbert, beet greens and Swiss chard. Citrus continues on palate with addition of grapefruit zest, lemon rising, and orange zest receding. Incredibly crafted beer gives you the bitterness with a mineral lift, then alights on the palate with a butterfly kiss of sweetness and grain. Long legs of joyous beer flavor!

Cloudy and grey to red-brown Amber through the pour. Leesy-teasy. This voluminous lady sprung a shock white, unexpectedly pure pate. Cinnamon baked apple and caramel are soft suggestions initially. Barley and malt cameo as themselves with a whole jar of raw honey and ginger snap crumbles. These aromas are deceptive. She’s not that sweet, really. She snaps between a mineral texture and a pretzel bun with a Hawaiian bread middle. There is lingering almond butter after a briny lemon and a citrus tea that drags it all back. There is a decidedly German depth to the beer, which embraces a baked bread quality, but this is lean and sleek, sidestepping the heartburn of some styles. Hazelnut oil, almond flower, pecan, and sunflower seed persist in a lees-y postlude. #brauereimaxliebinger #unfiltered #zeppelin #germanbeerday #deutschland #Deutschebier #bier #beer #lees #strangebrew #gettheLedout #Hindenbeerg — 6 years ago

Ebullient coiffure. White and high. Recoiling sectioned serpent turns caption ball lacing. Doughy, almost peirogi nose shows orange and tangerine piths, crispy breadstick, lightest white pepper, raw peanut, and caramelized shallots. Grape leaves, brown sugar sanding, salsify, baby corn and pumpernickel.

Beige and fluffy pour turned porous and sparse with just a cat’s paw print remaining. Really ready for Oktoberfest, so jumping the pond early this year. Subtle cardamom, and pine notes atop orange peel and honey bread on oak leaves waft from the dark, reddish-amber of this dunkel. Cherry pit, lemon tea, rye, and applewood with a dusting of aspirin that yields to a yeast and honey over cigarette paper. Mineral elements suggest silver and nickel. The finish has a malty, pecan nuttiness throughout. #bier #beer #germanbeerday #deutschebier #deutschland #dunkel #flensburger #flensburgerdunkel #darklager #lager — 6 years ago

Wet stone and lime with a Petrol suggestion; fresh leek and crisp jalapeño. Lime and brine with a crab apple sweetness that disappears rapidly to a dry lime, underripe plum, pith flesh rainbow, then key lime oil and lemon zest. #riesling #rheingau #dryriesling #schlossreinhartshausen #oldvine #germanwinesociety #deutschland #Schlossabfüllung #germanwine #wein #whitewinekindofnight — 7 years ago
