Frankenthaler - Frankenthaler Brauhaus Perlenbacher Strong

Yellow, not quite clear filtered. Predominantly dense, white foam. Smell of light malt, grain, toast, alcohol, when poured for the first time a pungent smell of medicine for a short time, later more like herbs. Full-bodied and malty in the initial taste. Emphatically sweet malt flavor with lots of grain and light bread. straw and caramel. Tends to have a soft mouthfeel. In the aftertaste grassy-tart hops, alcohol. A distinctive but not overdone bitterness. Hops partly metallic, but also herbs and pepper. Conclusion: Apart from the shrill start in the smell test, a just tolerable strong beer based on a lager or Pilsener. Hops and malt both show higher ambitions, at least at times. In other places again somewhat clumsy and biting. From the "profile" printed on the can: Original wort: 16.3 °P Bitterness: 22 IBU Hops: Hercules
