Pours gold with a large, lasting head.Nose shows corn and spicy, floral hops. Also some faint sweet malt.Flavours are a bit better, no vegetal notes, instead being focussed on the light sweet malt and very faint spicy hops.Needs more carbonation. Very watery.

Pours amber with a large, quickly fading head.Nose shows hefty ginger and what might be nutmeg? Pretty overpowering. Also a faint vegetal/herb-like character.Some ginger notes as flavours, followed by weak sweet malt and vegetal notes. No bitterness results in a cloying finish.Could use more carbonation to dry things out.

(Bottle) Looks great: pours clear golden with good big white head. Aroma is sweets / candy with a hint of lemon - pleasant enough but rather artificial. Light body with lots of carbonation. Flavour is overall rather thin and attenuated. It is mainly grainy malts and sweetness (candy, hint of pear-drops). The finish loses some of the sweetness and maybe there is slightest hint of bitterness. Overall it’s thin, uninteresting and insipid, but could have it’s place matched to spicy Asian food or quaffing on a hot day.

Some chutzpah calling it "sparkling ale" after appropriating "radler". Bottle. Clear gold with a white head. Aroma of oranges, peaches, grass. Taste is sweet and grainy with some fruit. Dries out a little at the end with no particular bitterness.

A deep dark schwarze with a super thick brown head. In aroma, nice peaty resinous burned wood, licorice, surprising. In mouth, a smooth peaty chocolate with light fruity esters, a bit thin, but still in good shape. BB March 2010.

A golden pils with a thin white head. Light signs of oxidation in aroma, with faint German hops. In mouth, there is still some life left in this one, with grainy (attenuated) malt, still a nice grassy German hops attack, mineral notes, oxidation is not too bad. BB March 2010...still drinkable.
