Overpriced pint in an Irish pub in Nuremberg. No head. Caramel aroma.Thin body and caramel flavour. Holistic beer that doesn’t score high in any criterion but overall is enjoyable.

Damn I’ve never rated this. Honestly this was a decent "bridge" beer for me back in the early 2000s as I traded up from yellow crappy.

Amber with a chill haze and a creamy white head. No major aroma, just a hint of floral hops and yeast. Smooth and creamy but somehow light bodied, taste is a blend of sweet caramel and floral bitterness which somehow balances out to an almost meh tastelessness.

It is a light ale, nice copper color when you pour it into the glass, creamy foam, watery, small side of bitterness, refreshing. 21.07.2016, drinking it in Geneva with Alex, at the lake, Pâquis, area on the grass, not great but it was refreshing.

What to say. Creamy smooth pint of bitter. Beautiful beer anytime. Nothing exciting or particularly interesting but what it does it does well.

Can. Pours hazy brown with thin but long lasting head. It has the usual biscuity bitter notes in aroma and taste but is painfully, terribly watery and thin. Meh.
