I think this is probably the best place to ask... A few years ago I spent about 4 weeks in Germany and I had some of the best beer I've ever had (naturally!)
My problem is that I forgot what the name of the best beer I've ever had is... When I came back I of course couldn't find it in the states but I'm sure we probably have something similar...
OK, so here's what I remember (it's been a few years so the details are fuzzy!)
I was southern Germany, near Ramstein airbase, and also had it in the Heidelberg area. The first time I had it was at a hahanfest (i think that's how you spell it, chicken fest I believe is the translation).
So this was June/July in Germany. It was available locally on tap but I also remember buying several cases and taking them home as well. I think that it was more than just a local brew since I had it in other town, so maybe a regional/national thing too?
So about the beer.... it was light (at the fest there was a favorite light and dark beer). Lightly bitter, very smooth, beautiful head on tap and out of the bottle..
I'm not sure what else I can remember, so I guess I'm hoping someone might have an idea of what I'm thinking of...
sigh, i'm a newbie to the homebrew stuff but if I could figure out what this was, not even a recipe if we don't have one available.
anyway, sorry for the super-long post but kinda figured someone would know what the heck i'm talking about!
