Brauerei Spezial, founded in 1536, is one of Bamberg's oldest breweries and has been family-owned by the Merz family since 1898. This Weissbier is a distinctive take on the brewery's smoked beer heritage: gently smoky with classic banana and wheat character. The palate is surprisingly dry and crisp, with smoke kept deliberately subtle and refined—a marked contrast to the intensity of Bamberg's other famous rauchbier producers. The finish brings unexpected hop bitterness, creating an engaging interplay between the fruity yeast notes and the beer's mineral backbone.
