Sehr süßer und würziger Geruch, der Hopfen ist zwar erkennbar, geht aber zwischen den anderen Tönen fast unter. Süßlicher Antrunk, wie im Geruch ist der Hopfen erkennbar, wirkt aber fast schon schwach, stärker im Vordergrund steht die Malzigkeit und der leicht würzige Unterton. Zum Ende hin wird das Bier kurz alkoholisch, kann sich durch den stärker werdenen Gewürzton doch noch beherrschen und gefällt hier durch die stärkere Hopfigkeit. Zum Ende prickelnd, eher mild und mit wenig Hopfen. Vielen Dank an den Doppelbock für das Teilen des Bieres! Test vom 1.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,13,11,12,11,10 - 10,95

GABF 2007. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and very grassy and also with notes of the alfaacid. The flavor has notes of grass, grapefruit, spices, and hops - going overboard and lending the beer an acidity from the hops and showing off the alfaacids.
