Dullish hazy pale, with a medium head. Yeasty, slightly grassy aroma. Similar palate, with a moderate bitterness and again a grassy hop note. The malts are a bit on the sticky side, but not as bad as some other beers trying to take on this style. It's certainly not what you'd call a high end example, at least in the Franconian interpretation. The label alludes to Switzerland, though, so maybe it's more aligned with whatever a Swiss landbier is.

473ml can. Pours a clear yellow gold with a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick curtains of soapy lace. Aroma of bready pale malt, faint lemon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, lemon zest, grass and floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Clean and easy to put back.

473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Nose is clean and laid-back, with soft bready malt, some doughy notes, and only a touch of hoppy bitterness. Flavour confirms this impression, with a clean bready, doughty malt base, and barely any trace of hoppy bitterness. Clean and drinkable, but pretty boring.

Straw and a little basement hay. Slightly hazy golden pour with pretty good head and lacing. Snappy bitter end. Can.
