St. Erhard, a craft beer from Bamberg that is now increasingly available in India is actually the collaboration between two management graduates; one from IIM-A. Exported to India, St. Erhard is available in a clear bottle, unlike most other beers, and is rather smooth with a lively hoppy taste.
On the nose, the beer is a harmony between malty, fruity sweetness and the pleasant bitterness of the fine aroma hops. At the palate, hints of roasted malt sweetness are interwoven with courageously used hops, giving the lager characteristics of a stronger, darker beer without emphasising individual flavour components too heavily.
Since it is a craft beer, it is devoid of glycerine and the freshness of it works well with a whole lot of cuisines. Let it be your pick while eating some rich, gravy-based dishes.
