The deep amber tone arouses expectations, which are met by the mixture of aromatic top-fermented fermentation and the particularly complex hopping, right down to the fermenting cellar. The fine-pored head of foam is permeated by noble floral scents and aromas that range from strawberries to blood oranges. Due to the sophisticated creation of carefully kilned malt and the complex mashing process, this impression
is also framed by a fine malty note. By enjoying the special goblet, an experience unfolds from the first scent, through the voluminous taste, to the finish in a perfect way. This special beer is ideal for serving as an aperitif.
Until the middle of the 19th century, most beers were brewed according to top-fermented brewing methods. With the introduction of yeast breeding and the bottom-fermented Pilsner brewing method, the top-fermented beers were replaced more and more. To this day, Weissbier, Kölsch and Alt beer have been brewed in Germany. In England, top fermentation was maintained in the form of ales and stouts. In recent years, the development of numerous new small breweries in America has led to a counter-trend to the uniform taste of large breweries.
In Germany and Bavaria, too, new taste creations are currently developing. Our naturally cloudy Amber special is the Franconian answer to this trend. We use also for this exclusively native hops from the Franconian cultivation areas.
The special feature is that the hops are not only used in the brewing process, but also for fermentation and storage. The so-called cold hopping or "hop hopping" in combination with the amber-coloured malty character and the aromatic top-fermented fermentation thus result in an interplay of very special aromas. In order to be able to experience this impression intensively, a cup-shaped glass is recommended, which bundles the aromas: the Main Seidla Amber. Clearly something for the connoisseur.
