Clear copper colored, medium strong white head with good lacing. Aroma is malt, cardboard and some cooked veggies. Taste is low to moderate sweet malt, some biscuit, again cardboard, some lemon-grassy notes, and cooked veggies to top it off, low bitterness. Low+ bodied, moderate carbonation. Not very good, maybe a defunct bottle...

Many thanks to Sean for this bottle! Malzig-aleiger Antrunk. Tolle trockene Malzaromatik. Frisch-bitter, leichte Süße. Malzig-fruchtig, leicht herb, frisch-fruchtig. Lecker!
