(Bottle 33 cl) Normally a Southern-German pils is expected to be less bitter than their Northern counterparts. But this is an "Edelherb" and hence rather hoppy - both bitter but also with a lovely aromatic hoppiness. Still this has room for a certain softness in body. Straw golden with a nice creamy head. 291099 and 060903

(Bottle 33 cl) Used to be the world’s strongest brew - now just one of the strongest... Beautiful, deep amber colour, rather small, white head. Delicate almost sherry-like notes, some sweetness and a lightly smoked character reminding me of whisky. Loads of alcohol, but never unpleasant. Great beer indeed. 040899

(swing top bottle) Pale yellow colour with a thick white foam and nice lacing. Malty aroma with hoppy elements and a touch of citrus. Slight sweet flavour with a well blended malty start and a nice but also short medium bitter & dry hoppy finish. Quite acceptable.
