The buffalo that vegetarians also like!
Even if the name Aischbüffel doesn't sound like it, it is its noble lightness that makes it something very special. The Franconian brewery Rittmayer is one of the few breweries that manages the balancing act between traditional beers and innovative, creative craft beers. The Hallerndorfer range includes both handcrafted, down-to-earth beers as well as unusual, fancy beer specialties.
Dark. Wild. Different. This is how the Rittmayers describe their Aischbuffalo. Buffalo is the new buck we say. Despite all the innovation, the recipe for this dark bock beer is subject to the requirements of the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 and is a masterfully crafted brew. The recipe is not only subject to the purity law, but also to strict secrecy. The brewers neither reveal which hops were used nor provide any information about the malt. Extremely mysterious and at least as delicious!
The Aisch buffalo gallops into the glass in a dark chestnut brown and raises small, hazelnut-brown foam antlers. Fresh, green hops combine with herbs, aromatic laurel and the stunningly sweet scent of a blooming summer meadow. A hint of dark chocolate underlines the play of aromas, while tangy notes of citrus fruit and grapefruit also mix in. The sweet malt notes of chocolate and caramel also appear in the taste sample and are round and smooth. The lack of bitterness on the tongue is surprising and leaves room for a nice malt sweetness that extends into the finish.
The Aischbüffel is a well-balanced and surprisingly tame, pleasantly drinkable buck.
