1L flip-top bottle courtesy of thirstybird @ RBBSG II. BB 29-08-2013, filled in July 2013. Ambrée, col beige fin. Arôme est malté caramel assez subtile et très agréable. Le suivi houblonné reste noble procurant un bouquet moyen citronné. Palais reste centré sur un malté très allemand de style Munich, crystal avec un houblonné nobles offrant des pointes légères de citronné. Bière qui ne tombe pas dans l’habituel version trop sucrée caramel de nombreuses bières allemandes.

Courtesy of ThirstyBird. Thx! 1 litre swing-top bottle sampled @ RBBSG II. BBF 29/08/2013 which makes this one quite fresh since they only given it a month shelf-life or something like that. Pours a reddish copper with a tanned head. Nose is USA grapefruit hops, very hoppy with light sweet malts, hint caramel, light tropical fruits, flowers,…. Taste is bitter grapefruit, caramel, flowers, bitter herbs, touch exotic fruits and small hint of roast. Light and easy to drink. Very, very good, one of the finest German beers I have had so far easily.

Draft at Schumacher, May 2013. Brown color again and the same thick, lacing head. Rich malt flavor, and a somewhat oily finish. Good palate. Dryer than Kurzer, and it doesn’t have as much nut character as some of the others.
