Bottle. Amber, big golden creamy head. Honeyish malty, spicy and light aromatic, herbal hop notes. Soft, chewy yet light sparkly on the palate. Quite pleasant, thanks pivnizub!

Süßer Antrunk mit kurzer würzigen Note. Im Mittelteil tritt der Hopfen deutlich hervor, darunter weiter die aus dem Antrunk bekanntesüße Note, allerdigns in abgeschwächter Form. Die Würzigkeit ist noch erkennbacher, aber sehr mild geworden. Durchgängig ist das Bier sehr prickelnd. Hopfig-herber Nachgeschmack, die süße Note verabschiedet sich nun. Danach herber. Test vom 19.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,11,10,10,10,10 - 9,85

Bottle, 4.8%. Bready aroma, a little citric hoppiness with a hint of urine. Clear golden colour, slightly sparkling. Small, stable white head. The flavour is a little citric from the hops with a distinct spicy hoppiness. Medium maltiness. Medium mouthfeel. A different beer, with focus on the hops.

Bottle: Golden coloured, quickly diminishing, but lacing white head; robust, distinctive sweet-malty nose with the faintest tinge of alcohol and a touch of aromatic hops; solid sweet-malty flavour, rounde by a light bitterness; medium-bodied; sweet-malt and aromatic hops in the finish. A well balanced and tasty brew............

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a foamy white medium head. Medium-sweet malty and citrus-fruity nose with light herbal notes. Medium-sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a crispy carbonation. Malty taste with fruity accents, shy herbal hops in the background; moderately dry, slightly bitter finish with herbal notes. Another reliable decent brew by Schlossbrauerei Irlbach.

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a fluffy, non-persistent foamy white head. Sweet and strawy malt aroma with honey and citrousy hops. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium body with a medium to crispy mouthfeel. Malty, honeyish and citrousy fruity taste with hints of cara-malt; medium-dry malty and slightly bitter finish with faint hoppy notes. Balanced and solid brew, pleasant to drink.

(bottle) Clear golden colour with a small foamy white head. Slightly sweet malty nose with floral and herbal hops and a touch of honey and citrus. Initially malty with dense citrus fruity notes rather hop balanced brew with a slightly floral hoppy and light bitter finish. All in all not that bad, but too light bodied and it lacks a bit character.
