This is how the brewers prefer to drink their beer: when pinching (in German called 'zwicklen') straight from the tank. The beer is cloudy, strong in smell and taste and full-bodied due to the natural ingredients of the raw materials contained in this beer.

16oz can. Looks filtered, but guess it isn't. Sweet, malt centered. Minimal hop balance. Some pleasant creamy yeast and lager notes. Pretty straightforward, easy drinking. Good.

Pours gold and somewhat hazy with a white head. Aroma is grainy, bready malt. The flavor is sweet and bready and much like the numerous helles brews in this advent calendar. Grainy and bready with minimal hops.

500ml can from the Costco Advent Calendar, drank in California on 24th December 2021. Mini-haze to the second pour (first one being almost clear), amber/orange in colour, decent white head on both pours. Biscuit/bready malts in the nose and initial taste, light caramel leanings. It's a little sweet, but there is some hop action for a bit of balance.

500 ml from the Costco Advent calendar. Aroma is bready, caramel. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately sweet with faint bitterness, finishing dry. Peppery, bready sweet flavors. Nothing wrong with the palate. Too sweet for me.

Can behind day 24 of the Costco Advent Calendar. It pours cloudy orangey - gold with a decent fluffy white. The aroma is fresh and full of rich malty action, rustic bread, biscuit, cereal, light sweetness, tangy lemon curd, custard creams, leafy malt and cereal. The taste is dry and firm initially, then it has a sweet bready vibe, cereal, biscuit, rich tea and custard creams, touch of spice, doughy, grass and grain with a smooth, doughy finish. Medium body and fine to moderate, massaging carbonation. Hearty and bready, smooth and moreish. Lovely stuff.

Half liter can from the Costco Advent calendar. Doughy malt nose, fresh baked bread, herbal hops, light citrus, yeasty esters. Rich malty flavor, yeasty dough rising. Hazy bright gold with a tall head. Sweet flavor, estery, doughy, citrus, herbs.Relatively full in body, low carbonation. Not quite up there with the best Franconian kellerbiers, at least in this form, but hey, in a can it's mighty satisfying.
