Beers I've Tried: Königsbacher 1689

Königsbacher is the local Koblenz brewery. In fact their current ad campaign is "Koblenz drinks Königsbacher". They trace their origins back to, you guessed it, 1689 when they made beer in the old city hall (a not that unusual combination back then).

1689 is one of Königsbacher's specialty beers. The recipe is suppost to have origins back in the original brew house. It in a caramel tasting brew with a nice deep brown color. If there is a complaint, the head is a little loose, not a tight as the last two brews that I wrote about. Still, this is the last of a half case that I bought, so I did enjoy this one.
