Clear, clear amber beer. The thought of white head. And I smell ... uh... nothing. Dripped my nose to get a hint of malt and syrup. Taste is sweet thin roasted malt. Mild mild bitter after. Junk.

14.5.2015: Schön dunkel bernsteinfarben im Glas. In der Nase malzig, Karamell. Im Trunk Malz, süß, süffig, aber auch ganz leicht metallisch. Trotzdem ein ordentliches Lager. Im Abgang Holz. Retry 28.5.2023: leichte Aufwertung, lecker Bier. Sehr malzig.

12oz bottle from Beers of Europe. Poured into a Duvel glass at home on 25th Mar 2015. Nice clear amber with a red hue brew, large white foaming head: very un-lager like. Nutty and woody nose with a mild maltiness, the taste similar in nature: semi-sweet flavour from the malts, late bittering in the finish. Different and unusual for a lager based brew: I liked it.

Bottle from bierpost.com. Pours a deep amber colour with a medium off white head, quickly dissipated. Aroma is floral, hoppy, caramel, with a light roasting. Medium sweet, mild bitterness. Medium bodied, slick texture. OK.
