We’ve talked<\/a> plenty<\/a> about the new, well,\u00a0 everything of the re-launched Berghoff: much-need splashes of color on the labels, new beer names and even a new contract brewer. The one thing we haven’t talked about yet is what Berghoff’s beer tastes like.<\/p>\n

Until today.<\/p>\n

Berghoff’s new lineup consists of five year-round beers, two seasonals and an initial offering from their Uberbier series. We got our hands on the five everyday offerings, a seasonal and a Uber and can report back, with some degree of certainty, that the beers definitely have changed. Some for the better, others not so much.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We’ll work our way left to right from the photo above.<\/p>\n

Dortwunder Lager<\/strong>: This might be the most approachable of the offerings and the one I would happily get again. Floral hops in the aroma, a crisp body with touches of honey and cracked pepper finished off with a grassy hop notes. Pairs well with a muggy summer night.<\/p>\n

Germaniac Pale Ale<\/strong>: Berghoff revived a long-dormant style to create the first beer in its Uberbier series. The nose is accented by honeydew and mint. Crisp apple hits the palate along with a touch of honey and some grassy hops. There’s\u00a0 molasses in there and it adds a wrinkle that is slightly out-of-place.<\/p>\n
