Herrngiersdorfer Publiner

With the Publiner, the Schlossbrauerei Herrngiersdorf is trying to celebrate the irish culture of beer brewing where half of the alcohol consumed there is beer. Historically Ireland produced ale without hte use of hops, which was imported from England in the 18th century. A century later, Ireland was exporting more beer to England than it imported. The Publiner is a Chestnut-amber colored, unclear beer with medium-sized and slowly collapsing creamy beige head; mild to moderate sweetish caramelly and bready nose with a certain fruitiness; mild sweet and slight bitter flavor, almost medium bodied and a bit fizzy, shorter and drier sweet-bitter finish.
