Most of the ones I've come across were just under 8º Plato and about 2.8% ABV. There's one at 9.6º Plato, which is neither Schankbier nor Vollbier.<br /><br />I've a post queued up for the beginning of next month with nmore details.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-30630456431437727462014-10-24T04:50:22.975-07:002014-10-24T04:50:22.975-07:00Does it strike you as odd that leichtbier is descr...Does it strike you as odd that leichtbier is described as 12P but 3.2%?

Nice to see Rotbier on there, with new versions having appeared in Nürnbergerland recently, some according to historic recipes, some not. <br /><br />Curiosity prompts two questions: Why two identical Kellerbier entries, and is "Festbier" to be hell explicitly, or will it include dunkel?Erlangernickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564871714656285737noreply@blogger.com
