Bottle at home bought at a Bio store near my home. Pours yellow with no head. Heavily particulate, thin bodied, poor palate. Slight aromas of malt, mostly cereal and herbs. Light presence of hops, mostly grass and herbs. Taste is similar, with dry finish and slightly bitter-sweet aftertaste. I’ve had it many times in the past, it’s an ok brew but nothing that special. I do prefer it to commercial beers, and I appreciate their following the German Purity Law.
