And again a 0,5 l bottle from Kristall-König. Thanks a lot mate! Pale clear golden in the glass with a big off white head. Honestly nothing on the nose. Taste starts with some grassy malt, some citrus, some grain. Later little bit more spicy. Very low bitterness. And another easy to drink Helles. Nothing really wrong but also nothing I would remember in a few minutes.

0,5 l botte from Kristall-König, so far as I remember. Thanks a lot! Clear red golden in the glass, mighty white head. Grassy malt with some sweetness on the nose. Taste starts more flat malty and caramell, some fruity like apple in the background. Getting more intensive in the second part, also increasing hop. Mid bitterness. Okay.

Bottlshare at Mr Smith’s pad. Thanks to Fergus. Hazy amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is smooth and has decent fine carbonation. Sweetish malts, a touch of cream. Tangy ripe fruits before a sweetish light finish. A tad on the sweet side but enough here to amuse.

Bottle shared at Leighton’s place 14/04/2016. A hazed reddy amber coloured pour with a lasting frothy beige head. Aroma is banana bread with yeast esters, a little hint of tart berry, hint of smoke. Flavour is composed of of sweet gooey banana bread, caramel and vanilla, cakey malts. A little tart berry in the finish. Palate is medium bodied semi sweet, frothy carbonation.

And again a 0,5 l bottle from Kristall-König. Big big thank you! Nearly black in the glass, only reddish edges. Big foamy beige head. Low roasty malt on the nose. Taste starts with a lot of toasted malt, like "Blockmalz Bonbon" back in the days from my grandma. Sweetness in the background. Caramell and spicy bedding. Interesting!
