Cloudy and grey to red-brown Amber through the pour. Leesy-teasy. This voluminous lady sprung a shock white, unexpectedly pure pate. Cinnamon baked apple and caramel are soft suggestions initially. Barley and malt cameo as themselves with a whole jar of raw honey and ginger snap crumbles. These aromas are deceptive. She’s not that sweet, really. She snaps between a mineral texture and a pretzel bun with a Hawaiian bread middle. There is lingering almond butter after a briny lemon and a citrus tea that drags it all back. There is a decidedly German depth to the beer, which embraces a baked bread quality, but this is lean and sleek, sidestepping the heartburn of some styles. Hazelnut oil, almond flower, pecan, and sunflower seed persist in a lees-y postlude. #brauereimaxliebinger #unfiltered #zeppelin #germanbeerday #deutschland #Deutschebier #bier #beer #lees #strangebrew #gettheLedout #Hindenbeerg — 8 years ago

The newest member of the #Loosen #GG club, joining Ürziger Würzgarten & Erdener Prälat. A full 12 months on the unstired #lees. A magnificent mineral display supported by a fine core of ripe acidity. The most elegant of the three sites due to its #grayslate soil base. Expect this to go at least 10-15 years in bottle--another triumph! #2013 #WehlenerSonnenuhr #AlteReben #Riesling

A very serious wine that has tons of acidity and clarity. There's a richness here that can come from only one thing: extensive lees stirring... And sure enough that's what they do. Very good wine that reminds me a bit of some burgundy. #portugalwine #lees#sisab — 8 years ago

Undeniably #Mosel. Perfect balance of fresh grapefruit-like acidity and a weighty midpalate. Lover of #lees! #2011 #dry #GG #ClemensBusch #Rothenpfad #Riesling — 11 years ago

Medium lemon color. Very champagne like with a #lees finish that was almost bitter tasting. #chablis #grandcru #chardonnay — 9 years ago

One of the featured wineries at the Gala Luncheon cooked by @DavidKinch... #ErniLoosen's #GGs are making headlines around the world, which is no surprise given their stunning quality and extra layers of complexity after 24 months on the #lees. This #Wehlener had an almost creamy texture backed by a core of fine acidity, which paired beautifully with the scallop dish created by Kinch. @DrLoosenWines #DrLoosen #WehlenerSonnenuhr #Riesling #AlteReben — 10 years ago

Here's where it all began... #Loosen decided to experiment with different durations of time with yeast contact...the "#Reserve" having 24 months on the #lees which gives the wine greater complexity and depth of flavor, not to mentioned aging potential. #Riesling #2011 #altereben #ErdenerPrälat — 11 years ago

#DRY, yes, but not too much so because it has such perfect ripeness and sexy acidity that it actually comes off as more opulent and not in the least bit austere. A full 24 months on the #lees has given this remarkable wine layers of complexity and, well, the "spiciness" that you would expect from a "spice garden"!
