Bottle @ home picked up at Mile High Denver. Pours a bit milky, very hazy yellow orange appearance with a small white head. Very spicy herbal hoppy, light barnyard, straw, grainy aroma. A bit tangy, light lemon fruity, chewy straw, grainy cereal malty, a bit spicy yeasty, fairly herbal flavor. Not top notch in my book but fun as fuck to try.

330ml bottle. Hazy pale golden colour with average, firm, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, minimally husky aroma with a decent tart touch, hints of citrus, lemon grass. Taste is bitter hoppy on grainy basis, has a minimally tart touch close to "Sauerkraut". Combines hoppy notes of a good Kölsch with the naturalness of an unfiltered beer - nice.

Whole Foods, Bowery 40cl ($5): Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a nice white head. Aroma is yeasty bread and a bit of hops. Body is excellent. I like the low carbonation and the easy chuggability. Taste is mellow at the front, but gets a little hoppier towards the finish. Minimal aftertaste. Pretty good.

Bottle as Freigeist Ottekolong. Crystal clear golden hued pour with lots of evident carbonation. Medium sized, foamy white head supported by the vibrant carbonation. Good retention and lace. Aromas are malt forward, bready, straw, grainy, pils. Nice basic malt body. Light salinity, light grassy hop character. A touch herbal. Clean. No strong hop character (nor yeast or other character either). Flavors are strongly malty/biscuit like, tea like, light vegital DMS. Grainy, straw like, bitter (medium-low). A touch chalky with some DMS. Some bready malt, light salinity. Lively carbonation. Dry. Clean, and decently fresh tasting.
