Bottle: Pale golden to golden, lively carbonation, bigger off-white head with a little lace; clovey nose, mixed with yeasty and fruity traces; light to moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, very light bodied for a beer of 5.6%; short clovey and yeasty finish. No great pleasure...........

Bottle (kindly delivered by Quack-Duck!): Clear, amber coloured, mid-sized and quite stable white head; shy malty and toasty nose with a touch of vegetables; moderate sweetish-bitter flavour with a light sourish touch, only light to medium bodied; short shy malty and bitter finish. A very tame Bock........

bottle, bought at the brewery. Brewed to celebrate 500years of Aventinus (Johann Turmair "der Abensberger" who was a Bavarian writer of history and was born at today’s Hofbräuhaus in the cenre of Abensberg). Clear dark mahogany colour, mid-sized beige head. Malty-fruity nose. Malty base with hints of roasetd malts and caramel, shy but very nice hoppy flavours combined with some citrusy hop flavours and a touch of apples. Very nice Dunkel!

bottle, bought at the brewery. Johann Turmair (15th century) was born in Abensberg and therefore called "Aventinus" ("der Abensberger"). Clear deep golden yellow, large white head. Malty-fruity nose. Medium-bodied, solid malty background with pleasant fruity hints and rather shy floral-citrusy hop flavours. Lively carbonation.

(bottle) Clear, amber to brown colour with a short and slightly off-white foamy head. Discreet aroma of minimal toasted malt, caramel and notes of veggetables in the background. Sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Cara-malty, slightly ashy taste with traces of caramel. Moderately sweet malt-accented finish with little hoppy bitterness. Just drinkable (14.V.09).

bottle, bought at the brewery. Clear golden yellow, large white head. Malty nose. Solid and pleasant malty base with lovely hoppy flavours. Bitter-sweet. Smooth carbonation. This strongly reminds me of good Czech 12° lagers. To me it is much more of a Bohemian Pilsener than a German Pilsener. Delicious beer!
