0.2 l on tap at ’Bierhaus Machold’. Hazy, straw yellow with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of straw and some citrus. Sweetish, slightly bitter, grassy-spicy, a bit musty and a little fruity taste of straw, grains and some citrus, followed by a short, moderately bitter, grassy-spicy and minimally yeasty finish with a touch of cardboard. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Rather simple, monotonous and a bit off to be honest, but still quite quaffable and thirst-quenching.

Draught. Correct style designation would be Wies = unfiltered Kölsch Pale banana yellow, fully hazy; creamy & dense off-white head. Very fresh malty nose, some malt sweetness in the aroma. Bitter start, slightly hoppy keeps going on throughout. Main taste is sweet-malty as the nose. Citruspeel retronasal. Reasonable Wies, with a typical full mouthfeel, yet refreshing. Milky, wheaty aftertaste. Good, people very open about its origins, the old disused brewery is lending the tasted beer extra shine.
