33cl bottle. Looks and smells like cheap limeade; no noticable beer taste, but a quinine bitterness. Nothing more than an alcopop, and a weak one at that.

Medium beige head does not last. Deep dark brown barely translucent body with light carbonation. Earthy roasty aroma is slightly stale and dry with meaty notes. Dry roasty meaty earthy taste with licorice notes. A little watery, could use more body. Dry slightly metallic toffee aftertaste with faint chocolate notes. Some sweetness in the background. Taste improves dramatically once the beer is heated a little. Decent. (0.3l bottle at La Rusticana, Lübeck.)

Big coarseish shiny white lasting head. Yellow body with light carbonation. Light grass and straw aroma. Dry grassy straw taste with grainy malt notes. Light to medium body. Bitter grassy aftertaste. Faint residual sweetness. Verging on watery, with a sharpish mouthfeel. A good and very clean pilsener. (0.4l draft at Altstadt Bierhaus, Lübeck.)

Courtesy of bierkoning, thanks Edo!
Honey golden color, small white head. Quite neutral aroma: a bit grainy and alcoholic, not much hops found. Medium-bodied. Malty, alcoholic, a bit sweet, bitter finish from alcohol and grassy and slightly ashy hops. Long bitterish aftertaste. Malty and hoppy strong lager, which tastes even stronger than 7,4 %.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a huge, dense and tan head. Sweetish brewmash like aroma. Flavour holds mild roasted malt notes, minor chocolate smoothness, medium sweetness, light acidity and a solid bitterness into the finish. Finish shows a mix of acidity from the roasted notes and bitterness. Quite nice and easy beer.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Much foam for a bock. Tastes very dry, too less sweet, I think. Better than the Jever Pilsener.
