500 ml bottle from Total Wine. Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a large off-white head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Lots of streaming bubbles. Standard pale lager aroma. Standard pale malt flavor too, with only a hint of sulfur in the finish. Not as malty or bready as I expected. Again, a good lager, minus the sulfur notes. Medium body and medium carbonation. Not bitter.

500 ml bottle. Clear golden with a foamy head. Quite malty, toasted grain, overripe banana, candied malt, slightly metallic, pretzels, dry lemon zest, grassy. Zesty metallic bitterness, malty grainy sweetness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft to lively carbonated, dry zesty malty grainy fruity bittersweet finish. It’s a very solid Festbier, quite characteristic and flavourful. Deserves its relatively good rating for sure.

Bottle picked up from Markgrafen Getränkemarkt, Deggendorf consumed at home Saturday 16th March 2024, about to cook Rajma, a spicy Kidney Bean Curry from our new Dishoom cookbook, listening to ByteFM. Pours warm gold with a large white head, this is a huge improvement on the previous beer by Ettl Brau. Nice maltiness throughout but with a thin vein of bitterness, fruity and a pleasant hoppiness. This is nice.

Ergießt sich hellgolden und klar ins Glas. Leckerer Geruch - blumig, fruchtig. Der Antrunk ist kräftig. Danach kommt nicht mehr so viel. Insgesamt bleibt es recht neutral für ein Bier dieser Stärke (5,7 % Alkohol). Minimale Nuancen von Birne fallen auf, etwas Getreide, Hopfenherbe knapp über Medium, allerdings ohne große Aromatik. Gibt bessere Festbiere in Niederbayern.
