A slightly hazy deep golden beer with a white lacing. Aroma of resinous bitter hops, oranges, pine and resinous hops. Taste of resinous bitter hops, grapefruit, oranges, long bitter finish.

Can picked up from Walther Mai, München and consumed at home Thursday 26th June 2025, in a day when I took Mum and Keith back to the airport. We had Moules Mariniere for tea and listening to Deb Grant and Nathan Shepherd talking about Glastonbury 2025 on 6Music. Pours gold edging towards orange, head rapidly departed and carbonation is very low, disappointingly low. There's a safe resinous bitterness, mildly hoppy, a little sweet citrus (sweet orange), not sure about this, it seems an unloved beer, characterless and a sad 'Billy no Mates' type of effort. Generally Frau Gruber are decent, however comparing this to say a classic like Sierra Nevada Torpedo, firstly Frau Gruber is a lot more expensive, and then either misses the point on every key element or simply fails to clear the bar, it's like a 110m hurdler who hits every single hurdle. So I'm sorry but all told I'm very disappointed.

Ziemlich trockener, mild harzig-hopfiger Beginn. Eher milde Bitterkeit, geringe Süße, unterdurchschnittlich karbonisiert. Das Bier bleibt trocken, der Hopfen eher schwach, kurzer Abgang. Harmlos. 8/9/9/8/7/8
