2006 bottle drunk on 11/5/06.
Very light blonde beer with some hay and light, dry grass tints. Creamy, but small white head demonstrates moderate to low retention, with light lacing. Small bubbles rise sporadically in the clear liquid.
Very hoppy nose is fresh, fruity and strking. Backed by light pils malt that smells of warm baguette and honey with just a hint of graininess. A lightly sweet buttercream note is evident, though I wouldnt go as far as to definitively call it diacetyl. The hops help break it up, however, with a very strong grassines and light pear and lime notes.
Sweeter than expected is the flavor, with vanilla, honey and sweet cream flavors adding a medium-full body. Grass clippings, light herbs and pear/nectarine skin notes add flavor, but seem to disappear from the finish rather quickly. Very low bitterness, only a light shot in the middle. Not as much lager yeast as was hoped for on the end either, leading to a bit of a sweet finish. Some dough and very light fruitiness lingers. Medium amounts of carbonation, a bit of wateriness and a slightly wet texture overall. No alcohol noted.

Flip-top bottle: Pale golden coloured, bigger white fluffy head, distinctive sweet pale-malty nose with a distinctive floral hoppiness; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied, soft MF; sweetish, a bit lingering bitter finish. A very decent beer.........

Taster at Binny’s, Orland Park. Interesting, but not distinguishable from any regular beer. Pale lager color.Taste has a pronounced sharpness and a slight fruity overtone that shows some ale yeast and hard water at work, though. I’ll have to get a whole bottle and give it a fuller appreciation.

Hazy yellow body, thin creamy off-white head. Light, sweet aroma, nectary with notes of lemon, grassy, biscuity, and cerealy. Soft body, quite sweet, densely floral with touches of honey and lemon and a bready, biscuity finish. Aftertaste of grassy, earthy hops. I think it’s a bit too sweet at the forefront, without anything to cut the sugars until the finish. 16 ounces will be plenty. Interesting.

Pour is a bright yellow with a white head. Aroma is grainy and malty. So much so I could smell it the second i opened the flip top bottle. Flavor is very sweet with a malty backbone. I see the word "grassy" in many reviews. I could see this has this beer has a certain dryness the the hops and malts. Overall just O.K.

Schöne Bügelflasche mit verdammt gutaussehendem Etikett, auf dem Ein schön gezeichnetes Getreidefeld und dem jungen Farmer zu sehen ist. Im Hintergrund erkennt man ein kleines Dorf, welches von Getreidefeldern umringt ist. Sehr schön!! Auf dem Etikett sind weiterhin die Informationen erhalten, dass das Bier 8 Tage langsam vergoren ist und 66 Tage gelagert und gereift ist. DLG prämiert ist es auch. Zum Bier: Es riecht sehr würzig und vollmundig, die Krone ist ein wenig unstabil. Der Antrunk ist leicht wässrig mit einem leckeren getreidigen Unterton. Mild gehts auch weiter, erst im Nachgeschmack wird es leicht bitter, anschließend recht hopfig. Und süffig ist dieses Kerlchen... ich bin begeistert! So einen leckeren Testkandidaten hatte ich schon lange nicht mehr! Ausgewogen, dennoch recht würzig, einfach lecker! Tolles Bier!
