Rügener Insel-Brauerei is a hand crafted beer brwery located on the island of Rügen in Germany. The brewery was founded by Markus in 2015. Markus is a trained brewer, from having studied at Weihenstephaner.

I bought this Weissbier in a 500 ml glass bottle, with a alcohol content of 5.6%, in a local supermarket on the island Rügen, Germany. Price was 1.09 Euro per bottle.

The beer is fermented in open containers, exposed to sea air. The process is finished while in the bottle where the beer is matured.

Beautiful and hazy yellow color.

Very fine foam on top of the head. Head stays while drinking the beer.

Aroma comes off with sweet fruits and scent notes of banana.

Powerful CO2 level, light and fruitful in the taste. Refreshing and yet with a great balance. After taste is full of banana notes and slight bitterness.

Overall rating 78 / 100

To Øl used to be two friends, working as nomad brewers, travelling from brewery to brewery. This was the case in 2014, where I drank their Cloud 9 beer. In 2019 they bought an old ketchup factory in the Western part of Zealand, Denmark. It is a massive complex of 150.000 m2 ground with 26.600 m2 buildings on it. They have set up a full-blown specially designed brewery for their own production and will also host other brewers in their craft beverage hub.

I was gifted this beer from family members, at my birthday, hence price of this 440 ml canned beer at 5.4% alcohol, is unknown.

To Øl is brewed in Svinninge, Denmark.

Thick and very hazy yellow to orange in the color.

Large head with a medium sized foam, seems very CO2 active when poured into the glass.

Aroma comes off very powerful from the hops, very fruity and especially with citrus notes. Balances well with the wheat fruit notes.

Lots of CO2, then a very surprising floral domination in start of the taste, which quickly shifts to citrus notes and bitterness.

Very rare and tangent to weird experience. The aroma was promising, but the mix of hard floral hops and hefeweizen is simply too extreme for me.

Overall rating 64 / 100

This weissbier came in a 500 ml can at 5.3% alcohol.

Yellow in the color and slightly hazy , nice head that disappears in a few moments.

Fresh aroma, with a hint of sweet fruits.

Good CO2 level, light and refreshing. Good balance between bitterness and sweetness. Not a powerful weissbier in the taste, but at least one in balance.
