Ziegenhainer aka Lichtenhainer is the historical sour beer from the Jena area. Acidity, stonefruit notes and smokeyness make up this beer. Works wonderfully with Jubilee Chicken, Sauerkraut, Iberico ham or peaches

Pours a hazed blonde. No head. Scent is smoked, but not over the top. Bit cheesy (isovaleric?) Taste is medium intense, dry, low to no carbo. Smoke is mildly present, tad tart. Not overly wheat forward.

12 February 2022. At Winter Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks for hosting, Tim, and cheers to the whole crew!

Clear ochre, thin, off-white head. Aroma of bacon, cooked ham, unripe peach, pear, tobacco, wheat. Taste has sweetish peach, sweet-sour citrus flesh and peel; wheaty malt and smoky notes, yet gentle. Tart stonefruit-like finish, smoky, meaty, acidic. Medium body, oily texture, flat carbonation. So odd stylewise, but works so well.

75cl can @ Brewver Winter Gathering '22, thanks Eugene.
Dorée présentant un léger voile, pas vraiment de col si ce n'est qcq bulles éparses à la surface.
Arôme est de suite marqué par un bouquet plaisant sur le malt fumé le tout avec un léger rétro de funk et de fruits à noyaux.
Palais est un beau mariage entre une approche 'sour' qui reste plutôt discrète et au profit de ce caractère fumé. En retrait, léger apport fruité, un peu plus doux, le tout n'est pas spécialement aidé par une effervescence à al ramasse et qui ne profite pas au résultat final. Le reste cependant assez convainquant comme style ancien à l'orée d'un gruit.

12/II/22 - 75cl bottle @ BBGG Winter 22, BB: 15/II/23 (2022-159) Thanks to 77shipsfor sharing the bottle!

Little cloudy pale yellow beer, practically no head. Aroma: wow, very intense, lots of diacetyl, super smoky, peated as well, very funky and weird, a bit fruity. MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: very smoky start, funky, infected, a bit flat, soft acidity, spicy notes, herbal as well. Aftertaste: smoky, a bit sweet, fruity, some stone fruits, orange peel.

Bottle thanks to Chris. Pours a cloudy gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is strong smoked malt, olive, wood. Light body, smoke, wheat, light finish, decent.

Rauchiger, fein säuerlicher Beginn. Zu starke Karbonisierung, geringe Bitterkeit, rund. Die Rauchnoten nehmen etwas ab, nach dem Herausschütteln der Kohlensäure süffig. Geringe Herbe, langer Nachhall - lecker! 10/11/12/11/11/11
