Get to Know German Beer-12Jan02

Philippines Bar and Pub near Manila in Angeles City Clark Philippines shares a few interesting thoughts, reports, articles, ideas, suggestions and news about matters to do with dining, nightlife, restaurants, bars, pubs, food and beverage, wine and dine, parties and other aspects of the pub lifestyle.

Think German beer and chances are the first thing that will pop into mind will be pale-straw colored German Pils. The casual beer drinker can be forgiven for thinking that German brewers exclusively produce the same stuff. But the German beer scene is vastly more complex than that. There is a huge range of lagers and ales brewed there. Here are ten examples that can give you a taste of the many beers of Germany.

1. Pilsner

As with some many good things in this world, simplicity is the key to Pilsner’s success. Lightly kilned malted barley, spicy Noble Saaz hops that so define the aroma and flavor of this style, lager yeast, and soft water are all that’s needed for the skilled brewer to produce a fine pilsner. These ingredients combine for a clean, simple beer.

Tasting Notes:

The head is white and dense and the body is straw colored. The aroma should contain hops with a hint of graininess. The flavor is simple with light grain and hops bittering. The finish is clean and refreshing.

Food Pairing:

One of the reasons for pilsner’s popularity is that it pairs easily with many different foods. Roasted meat, chicken, and fish – though not so well with sushi. It goes nicely with spicy Indian or Mexican dishes as well as most Asian cuisines

2. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier

Many brewers produce wheat beers but nobody can do it better than the Bavarians. The unique flavor and aroma of this cloudy style comes from the special yeast used to ferment the blend of malted barley and wheat. Weihenstephaner has been making this marvelous stuff almost longer than anyone else.

Various kinds of wheat beer contain almost anything. The traditional Bavarian style contains at least 50% malted wheat – though often much more, malted barley, Noble hops, water, and yeast. The yeast used is a specialized ale yeast used only in wheat beers and contributes much of the aroma and flavor of the brew. The famous white beers of Belgium also contain unmalted wheat as well as spices. American brewers often use regular ale yeast and add fruit or other flavors to wheat beer.

Tasting Notes:

Traditional Bavarian Hefe Weizen is cloudy from wheat proteins and suspended yeast. It has a thick, white and long lasting head. The nose carries strong hints of bananas and clove. The flavor carries the same banana and clove characteristics with barely perceptible hops bittering. The mouthfeel is full and soft.

Pairing:

Wheat beers are generous in pairing and will generally match well with any food.

3. Spaten Oktoberfest

A Spaten brewer invented this sweet, brown style. Oktoberfest, or Maerzen, is traditionally brewed in March and served in autumn. Spaten’s Oktoberfest is only available from August until October or November. Paulaner also makes a fine Oktoberfest which is available year-round.

This lager is distinctly German and the ingredients ought to be, too. The base malt should be good two row Pilsner, with up to 20% Vienna or Munich malt. Some recipes contain some crystal but this can make purists shudder. The hops are a Noble variety even though the hopping should be very light. Don’t use a yeast that results in too dry of a beer. Malt is the star in a good Oktoberfest so let it shine. If you don’t have lagering capabilities, a good Koelsch yeast should do.

Tasting Notes:

The overall impression left by a good Oktoberfest/Maerzen should be malt but not in the nutty, bready way of a British Brown; after all this is still a German lager. The Vienna or Munich malts lay down a broad but light malt character. With only enough hops to balance, the malty character is dominant in the aroma and flavor without being overwhelming. The body should be light brown with a white head.

Food Pairing:

Because this style will forever be associated with the festival that gave it its name, the first foods that leap to mind are the meaty dishes of Bavarian. But the gentle flavors make it ideal to pair with many other sorts of food. The challenge would be not to serve with with foods that will overwhelm the beer. Try it with fresh, creamy cheeses. Pasta with white sauces and virtually any sort of seafood should work well with Maerzen.

4. Einbecker Ur-Bock

For the first of the bocks on my list I chose the first of the bocks. This dark, malty style was developed and took its name from the German town Einbeck. The Einbecker brewery continues to brew bock and its Ur-Bock is widely recognized as one of the best examples of the style.

5. Paulaner Salvator Doppel Bock

Doppel bocks are darker and richer than bocks. Paulaner’s Salvator is a fine example of this style. All bocks are lagers so, despite the big flavors, they are still crisp and clean with some sweetness.

6. Ayinger Bräu-Hell – Helles or Maibock

Helles or maibock is a pale colored bock. Despite its color it is still quite malty in flavor but it’s generally hoppier than other bocks. It was originally developed as the Bavarian answer to Pilsner.

7. Goose Island Summertime – Kölsch

Purists are groaning as they see my choice for the Kölsch entry is actually brewed in Chicago. But the best Kölsch style beers are brewed in Cologne and rarely make it past the German border. (The word Kölsch comes from the German name for Cologne – Köln) The few that make it out can be hard to find. Luckily, Summertime is a fine example of the style. Kölsch is an unusual beer because it is brewed with ale yeast but it is aged like a lager. It is pale and refreshing with moderate hopping.

8. Alaskan Brewing Co. Amber – Alt

Good German brewed alt is also hard to find outside of Germany so I offer this fine example from Alaskan Brewing Co. Alt is subtler than you would expect from it’s brown or amber color. It is slightly malty with hardly any hops aroma. It is usually rather bitter but not aggressively so.

9. Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier

Rauchbier or smoke beer is a very unusual style. The beer itself is a lot like Oktoberfest, sweet and malty. But the smoke flavoring adds a completely unexpected element to the profile. Some drinkers describe the flavor to be like beef jerky or even leather. It is worth tracking down a bottle if you’ve never tried it before.

10. Berliner Kindl Weisse

Berliner weisse is another very unusual style of beer. The flavor and character comes from deliberately soured grains. It is tart and tangy and very refreshing. Many fans of this style like to add fruit or herb flavored syrups but I like it just the way it is.
