500ml bottle from the Lidl festbier box. Pours pale gold with a light mist, white head. Aroma of malt grain, yeast. Presents a nicely clean flavour profile, very harmonised with a prominent malt sweetness, floral shades, dry close. Quite a straightforward, simplistic character. Ok overall.

Large foamy white head on chill hazy pale amber coloured body. Malt, ashtray & grainy aroma. Medium bodied, foamy & cloying. Malt, bready, cereal & grain tastes with a bitter finish. A distinct lack of any hops whatsoever - Grain & Malt. Poor.

Optisch klares Gold, behäbige Perlung, wenig Schaum. In der Nase Getreide, leicht plädderich abgestanden. Im Trunk Getreide, leicht staubig. Die Nase lässt Böses erwarten, der Trunk ist grad noch so okay.
