500ml bottle. Wonderful, clear, chestnut colour with ruby shimmer and minimally late awakening, average, thick, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white to beige head. Sweet-ish and toasty, dark and caramel malty aroma, notes of malt lozenge, caramel, minimally doughy yeasty and minimally yeasty fruity overtones with a touch of red berries. Taste is toasty, minimally nutty, dark malty and slightly caramel malty with low residual sweetness, mildly bitter hoppy counterpart, notes of malt lozenge, caramel, some praline, nougat, a weak touch of Brazil nut. Creamy texture, smooth, super soft and silky, minimally cloying palate, very fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation. Very clean, well balanced, excellent mouthfeel - fantastic!

Flaska från Hier-Gibt’s-Bier.de. Klar bärnstensfärgad vätska med lågt skum. Stor maltig doft med nötter, rågbröd och torkad frukt. Stor mjuk kropp, inte så vörtig som en dunkel kan vara utan stora ganska söta motiga maltsmaker som möter en för stilen ovanligt stor humlegiva med både fruktig och rejäl beska. Riktigt riktigt gott.

Flaska från Hier-gibts-bier.de. Klar gyllengul vätska med lågt vitt skum. Doft av säd, bröd och hö. Stor mjuk och rund kropp. Medeltorr, sydtysk snällt humlad pilsner med stora generösa smaker. Stort smakdjup och svår att sluta dricka. Mycket gott.

Pale golden with a large-bubbled white head. Good enough retention, little lacing. Vivid and fresh aroma shows a soft, slightly soapy cerealish base, with a bit of hay. Soon overcomed by rather strong fresh grassy notes, with a floral note too. Quite clean and well defined. Taste notes follow the aroma, but are not equally bright. Light to medium sweetness and average bitterness, good balance in the mouth and light bittering edge in the finish. Light bodied with average carbonation. A rather easy, lively enough mouthfeel. Very classic, overall well made pilsner.
