In the rich, golden-yellow, malt-emphasized beer, grainy and bready notes are perceptible. The fine reference ensures a nice liveliness. A pleasant sweetness and the bitter hop harmonize well. The slight sharpness is replaced by a stimulating bitter note on the palate.

"Müllerbräu Pfaffenhofen Wintersud", Flasche von Edeka Knoll, Hettenshausen, 27.4.2025. - Helles Kupfergold, blank. - In der Nase sattes helles Malz mit leicht sirupartiger karamelliger Süße, ein Hauch von Rauch, nur gedämpfte orangenbittere Hopfung. - Antrunk recht kernig aber weniger füllig als erwartet hellmalzig mit feinen Toast- und Karamelnoten, feiner Restsüße und delikater orangenfruchtig-herbaler Hopfung. Durchschnittlich rezent, nicht so vollmundig wie ein Festbier sein sollte. Im Abgang gediegene herbale Hopfenherbe. - Nicht der erhoffte kernige Wintersud sondern ein recht straffes, fein gehopftes Märzenbier, für diese Biersorte aber durchaus überzeugend.

0,5 l bottle. Clear dark golden with a more than one finger foamy white head in the glass. Grassy malty at the start, some sweetness. Getting more smooth grainy caramel in the middle section. Increasing spicy. Mid to low bitterness. Below average carbonation. Okay.

Bottle, thanks Fin! Clear deep golden, offwhite foam. Hay and straw malt forward aroma. Medium body, mellow mouthfeel. Light moppy hay, a hint sticky sweetness, grainy, minimal metallic grassy bitterhop counterpoint. A bit meh - I think a winter brew should spark a bit more joy.

500ml bottle from Web-Bier. Drank at home on 23rd Dec 2020. Liked this, deep golden body, clean and clear, white crown that left the scene rather swiftly. Semi-sweet malts fight with some bittering hops, the malts win in both the nose and taste. My 12th beer from this brewery and for me the best so far.

Bottle picked up from Bernhard Nieder Getränke, Attenkirchen and consumed at home Attenkirchen Thursday 2nd January 2020 listening to Steve Lamaqs Evening Session on 6Music and cooking Conchiglie with Yoghurt, Peas and Chilli. Pours light/mid actually more light gold, excellent clarity with a white head atop. Malty and lightly metallic nose. Sweetness in the flavour department, very soft mouthfeel, a little light syrup, not much hop or bitterness but then the style wasn't ever suggesting it should be. It's perhaps a little simplistic but it's fine.
