Guten tag! The Meista here again with another killer brew and killer album pairing for ya my friends!

Brew Info:

- Website: https://www.graminger-weissbraeu.de/
- Brew: Kirta
- Style: Dunkelweizen / Festbier
- Serving: 16 ounce can
- ABV: 5.4%
- Pour: The Kirta pours a clear mahogany/deep copper hue with an eggshell white, frothy, 1+ finger head with good retention and lots of sticky, intricate lacing.
- Nose: The nose is bready, toasty, malty, fruity, and slightly spicy. There are aromas of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, cola, dark fruits (prunes, raisins, and figs), apple, cloves, light pepper, soft banana, and sweet caramel/toffee.
- Taste: Following the nose, the taste of the Kirta is fruity, malty, and sweet. There are notes of toasted pumpernickel bread, banana bread, prune juice, cola, light apple, and sweet caramel and toffee.
- Mouthfeel: Medium in body with moderate carbonation, the mouthfeel is very smooth and creamy with a rather clean, sweet finish.
Overall pairing: The crushably sweet flavors and aromas of the Kirta is the perfect beer for an evening of heavy duty headbanging with Pänzer's killer "Send Them All To Hell"! The notes are great for the aggressive machine gun fire guitars and drums, while the sweeter fruit ester aromas and flavors are a great foil to Schmier's gravely and angry vocals!
Prost!! Hails!!
