Clear yellow and golden coloured body with a nice, one to two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of funky pale malt, a touch of hops, some cream and light cardboard and some very light alcohol notes as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong creamy and pungent malt flavours at first with a big dose of cardboard and funky, stale hops with a bit of alcohol and caster sugar sweetness near the end. Aftertaste is fairly straight forward with a bit more of the same flavours and perhaps some extra creamy, pungent flavours. Overall, a decent beer, and one that perhaps is worth trying, especially for the style. Neat to sample, and worth picking up if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Cash Wise Liqours in Minot, North Dakota on 06-October-2016 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 28-April-2017.

On tap at Runyon’s. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges slowly. Aroma has sweet grains and sweet bread with a hint of hay underlying. Flavor has lots of grain and straw with a bit of sweet bread.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear yellow with a white head. Aroma is cornish to grassy. Bitter, toasted malty and light grassy. Medium dry and grassy finish.

12oz bottle-pours gold with a foamy offwhite head. Aroma is light malt/grain-bready. Taste is sweet light malt/grain-bready/caramel, some light fruit-pear, perfumy hops.

Hazy dark straw color - frothy, lasting head - aroma of dough, vanilla, sweetbreads, a bit of fruitiness - flavor is medium sweet and fairly clean up front - some hops bitterness and crackery character - dough through the middle, with faint butterscotch/diacetyl - becomes rather sweet at the end, but it is a clean sweetness - light esters - not quite to style, but not terrible.

12 oz. bottle. Golden pour, tinges of red highlight. Thin, steady head of lager foam. Sweet, malty smell. Nice malty taste, just a little bit thick, with an underlying touch of honey. Just enough German hops to lend notes of black pepper. Impressions of a whiskey & water, plus a little bit of red apple.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a small, frothy head and aromas of apple juice, punky vegetation and sugary sweetness. Flavor is kind of a mess of sweetness and fruit with a bit of odd vegetation and metal. Still, it is better than the nose would have indicated... still, it could be much bett

Pour is golden / copper, not too much head. Aroma is bright hop, with some sweetness. Taste of malt and caramel. Finish is a touch sour, after taste is a touch boozy. Nothing special.

In my 26 oz crystal clear plastic cup. A little lighter than a ’dark’ beer. Did not taste like 7%, much smoother. Just a little more bitter than I expected for a doppel. Also, I was very happy with my variety case from Schell; pale ale, octoberfest, pilsner, caramel boch, firebrick, maifest, doppelbock, zommerfest, etc. Wow what a variety…..loved it. Schell has some of the best looking labels, too!

Pour is a golden with a fluffly white head. Aroma is slight malts and hops. Flavor is citrus with a touch of hops. Nothing really special as the flavor is pretty weak.
