There are a number of breweries in Germany that are more than 500 years old. One of these traditional houses is, for example, the Hasen-Bräu from Augsburg. The year of its founding is listed in the city’s books as 1464, and even though brewing no longer takes place in the same place today, beer has always been produced under the name and coat of arms of the hare. The brewery has experienced turbulent times, was partially destroyed and rebuilt during the trials and tribulations of the Second World War, changed owners and locations, was expanded and established itself as a fixture in Augsburg’s culinary landscape. The range also underwent expansions and cuts, but one beer survived the passage of time untouched: the popular Hasen Hell.
The classic brewing piece is presented in a shiny, old gold glass and is adorned with a dense-pored crown of ivory-colored foam. On the nose, the beer has notes of oven-fresh yeast plaits and delicate impressions of exotic vanilla and light malt. The initial taste is mild and scores with sparkling freshness. A potpourri of butter biscuits, vanilla sugar, freshly harvested forest herbs and sun-ripened grain ensnares the palate. The soft sweetness is cushioned by a bitterness that increases towards the finish. A gentle bitter note with a citrus-fresh touch concludes the beer enjoyment.
