(33cl swing top bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a big eggshell-coloured foamy head. Sweet biscuity malt aroma with a tinge of lemon and herbal, slightly spicy hops. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Strong pale and cara-malt character, bready taste; the alcohol comes up towards the finish, combined with a quite harsh hoppy bitterness. Aromatic smell but the beer is lacking balance (22.02.08).

Bügelverschlußflasche (333ml): Deep golden coloured, smaller, rather quickly vanishing white fluffy head; shy bisquity nose with a tinge of hops and a tinge of vegetables, too; moderate to stronger bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering bitter, sweet and slightly alcoholic finish. Not very aromatic, not very well rounded, but all in all a quite well drinkable "souped-up Pils"......
