500mml. bottle as part of the European Secret Santa 2017 edition, many thanks to Erzengel for this bottle. Tasted on the 31/12/2017 at home. Hazy amber colour with a medium foamy white head. Aroma of grains, marzipan, hazelnuts and yeast. Taste is grainy and bready but not fresh. Slightly bitter and oxidized finish. Next one please!

(bottle, 33cl) Clear, deep amber colour with a short and slightly off-white foamy head. Bready malty aroma with notes of caramel, chestnuts and bread crusts. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Bready and slightly crusty malt character with caramel, hints of vanilla and nutty notes; rounded sweet-bitter malt accented finish. Likeable Amber Lager. 09.I.18

(33cl bottle, bought at the brewery) Clear, amber colour with a foamy, slightly off-white medium head. Moderately sweet malty, slightly toasted aroma with notes of honey and shades of toffee. Light-sweet, light bodied with a medium carbonation. Slim malty taste, slightly toasted with light notes of toffee, dry, very light bitter finish with a tinge of spicy hops and metal. Looks and smells good but the rest is pretty disappointing.

Bottle. Nose is citrus, orange. Palate is bitter orange, citrus bitter finish. Ok.

(bottle, 33cl) Slightly unclear, golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Mildly grainy malty aroma with slightly herbal hoppy accents. Bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a crisp carbonation. Balanced malty base with cereals and herbal hoppy spice, leading into a rounded finish with a good bitterness-sweetness ratio, including cereals, as well as slightly herbal and grassy elements. Decent. 18.XII.17

33cl bottle from Edeka in Breckerfeld. Smooth grainy nose, the beer starts grainy and round. Malty, grainy and sessionable. Easy to drink, dusty yeast, grain. Nice.
