Notes:
Snow Drop

Once upon a time German beer was only deemed pure if it contained the four orthodox ingredients of brewing: water, barley, hops, and yeast. During this time, an ale known as Köttbusser was outlawed because it contained oats, honey, and molasses. Over the centuries since its prohibition, Köttbusser became a lost brewing style. At Grimm Brothers, we’ve resurrected this refreshing ale with a kiss of hops. You don’t need a magic mirror to know that Snowdrop is the fairest in the land. Recommended by dwarves everywhere!

Brewed with Altbier yeast.

This was my favorite beer with Grimm Brothers. They called it a Kottbusser (sorry if I spelled that wrong). A pre- reinheitsgebot beer with wheat, oats, honey and molasses. A lighter colored beer with good clarity. The smell is mostly grainy with a hint of sweetness and a light floral aroma. The taste is amazing. Grainy up front with a bit of sweetness on the back. The honey is noticeable but blended well. A great finish with a lingering malty sweetness. Some hoppy notes but very good.

This is according to the people at Grimm Brothers a German beer style that pre dates the purity law. It's made with wheat, oats, honey and molasses. It's a golden straw color with perfect clarity and nice effervescence. The honey comes out in the nose but not much in the flavor. There is essentially no hop aroma or noticeable bitterness just a nice smooth and clean flavor with a slightly mineral finish from the molasses. Overall this is a nicely made clean and refreshing beer with a character that I have never tasted before. It is superbly drinkable and a perfect hot day quencher. I can't wait for them to bottle it as it will also become my new gateway beer for BMC drinkers.
