Swing top bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear amber with a roughish, lacing, white head. Discreet malt aroma. Light body, slightly caramelly with wort accents and no real bitterness. Surprising to find wort notes in a 3,2% beer. And the color - Helles? No way. 240326

same brewery, same style, same ABV - so I assume it is the same beer; clear golden colour, large, dense and quite stable (ecru-ish-)white head; aroma of grainy, hay, some grassy and herbal notes; hoppy-bittery taste with some bread crusty and herbal notes; surprisingly good

For me, it is not a bad beer, classical German style, light, watery, malty, bready, sweet, some caramel note, hop for lager. 24.11.2019, at home, Epalinges.

500ml bottle. Opalescent, orange, dark golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, strawy, minimally toasty, pale malty aroma, minimally waxy, hoppy overtones,. Taste is strawy and grainy, minimally toasty, pale malty, slightly waxy, hoppy overtones, a touch of diluted caramel.
Watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, soft, mildly prickly carbonation.
Simple, monotonous, expressioneless - I'd prefer pure water as thirst quencher.

Draught from LandBrot in west village. Poured on the lighter more translucent side of things, a bit more watery. not a bad Weisse.

Bottle. Pours dark brown w/small withe head. Taste was unbalanced, IMO with too much chocolate messing things up.

Bottle. Clear, amber in color with a medium head. Aroma is caramel with a malty smell. Taste is caramel notes of toffee and roasted grains. Nice.
