Pours lightly hazed blonde, medium small to medium white, stable head. Quite a bit DMS in the aroma. Pale malts. generic for a cheap german lager perhaps, but not for a NA, which is a ... good thing, appart for the DMS that is. Taste is fairly sweet. Malty, bready, more recognizable NA maltsyrupy character, but does provide a more standard-lager-like experience than most (Belgian, if I compare) industrial NA's. Lacks the complexity and balance of German's greats, but certainly a drinkable NA for what it is. Fix the DMS, and this would be a sure buy again.

Bottle at home while doing the dishes. Nem egy gondolkodos sor -annak sem kifejezetten jo- de azert nagy duzzogva lecsusszant

0.5 l can. Pours murky orange with thick head. Strange malty-yeasty aroma, with only hints of the usual weizen notes. Taste is the same, only the banana appears more prominently. Light bodied, softly carbonated. A bit weird, but fairly drinkable.

On tap at Restaurant Cafe KUCHL, Bodenmais Friday 28th February 2025, we're camping close (car park camping with electric and designated Wohnmobil places). Pours clear gold, white head. Simple and straightforward Hell, light but building bitterness, quite dry back end, not as sweet as some. Fine.

clear dark brown pour, but then i swirled in some of the sediment, and got s nice cloudy brown. A nice full beige head, and some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is bready, and biscuity, quite nice. Nice full bodied lager, a good amount of malt in the flavour with some nicy roasty notes, and that great chewy breadiness. Super drinkable, excellent stuff.
