Personal Brau

Someone close to me recently visited a brewery as part of a team-building day (firstly, how cool is that!). Not only did they get to taste different biers made from around Germany. They were also given the opportunity to bottle their own bier (I know!). Well as this person was not able to drink the bier, it was presented to me as a gift (I know........!) So the photo above is of the 1ltre bottle of bier from the Barbarossa Brauhaus.

Now to review the bier.... this was tough as I was tasting it through a biased view. But I have to say that this bier was uniquely enjoyable. It was an especially smooth, and crisp bier of the lager variety. It had the heavy mid tones of hops like a pils. But left a surprisingly citrous flavour on the tongue. I really enjoyed it, so much so that I'll be visiting theBrauhaus in the near future to purchase a few cases!

Rating? Has to be a 5.... From the pleasure of being presented with the bier, to actually drinking it, it was a hell of an experience and in the end, thats that it's all about.
