Hacker-Pschorr Münchner Gold - Hacker-Pschorr Bräu

Scottoberfest again, and this is beer number... 4?  I had a few duplicate beers, and I'm trying to work from my half-baked notes, so on some items I am having to rely on memory, which is never good! 
This is a stronger export lager with 5.5% ABV

My notes on this one are pretty sketchy, but it goes without saying that it has the typical straw appearance, lots of bubbles, and a foamy white head.  Nothing out of the ordinary

Nose is malt, grain, biscuit and some gentle floral hops- all the usual clean, non-adjunct aromas you know and love from a German beer.

Taste is not too dissimilar from the 'Braumeister'; but it has more of an alcoholic punch... That's how much my notes tell me.  (Damn my lazy drunken brain!)

Again, the mouthfeel is clean, crisp and refreshing; moderate astringency and carbonation.  Balance is good and the flavours benefit from the increased ABV, offering a slightly fuller body

85% - Good
