Bottle. Clear amber coppper with a small white head. Aroma of caramel and almonds. Taste of caramel, marzipan, metal and some nuts. Low bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Definitely drinkable but it’s rather anaemic and missing the bite and certain spiciness I want from a Festbier.

0.5l bottle from that one bio store in Garching. Slightly hazy orange-coppery body, off-white head. Grainy, sweetish aroma, bit honeyish. Sweetish, lean taste, grainy, simple, okay, mild cardboard perhaps, but not taking that against it, vaguely floral. Okay, solid, likely good when fresh!

Bottle. Xmas gift of the missus. White and green label now. Hazed pale amber. Very sturdy just off white foam. Looks good. Semi sweet nutty biscuit malt. A little sweaty. Some ripe vine fruit. Taste has a soft nutty sweetness. A little dry and moderately bitter as it goes along. Nice soft foamy mouthfeel. Bitterness sharpens up on the finish. Very nice.
