(swing top bottle) Hazy orange-amber colour with a stable foamy yellow head. Sweet malty aroma mixed up with strong notes of sourdough and a touch of fruitiness (apricots). Moderately sweet malty taste, yeasty fruity notes, medium body and carbonation, slightly floral hoppy, light bitter finish with some spice in the aftertaste (nuts, herbs, lavender). Very good and unconventional Märzen.

(swing top bottle) Clear straw golden colour with a fluffy foamy white head, leaving some lace. Slightly dusty and sweet malty nose with herbal and spicy hops. Very tasty and moderately sweet malty taste initially with a soft but balanced herbal hoppy note getting stronger towards the medium dry finish, which is a bit (ethereally) spicy and has an almost perfectly balanced bitterness with a dense note of caramel in the aftertaste. An outstanding Pilsener, more than ever for the Sauerland region.

(swing top bottle) Hazy dark brown colour with a ruby shine and a big tanned foamy head with slow lace. Dark malty toasty aroma with caramel and chocolate. Toasted malty taste with caramel, medium body, smooth carbonation and mouthfeel; dry and moderately bitter toasty and light hoppy finish with liquorice and milk coffee. Good Dunkel.

Swing-top bottle: Mid-sized creamy head, slowly diminishing, amber coloured; unusual sweetish fruity (peaches ?) and dusty/malty nose; moderate sweetish-malty flavour, a bit alcoholic; sweet-malty finish with some bitterness arriving very late. Not bad, but this Bock lacks some moderate bitterness......................

Swing-top bottle (bought at the brewery): Clear, golden, bigger almost rocky white head, long lasting, visible carbonation;sweet pale malty nose with aromatic noble hops and without any trace of cardboard; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; long bitter-aromatic-sweet finish. A very fine Pils, that could have been brewed in Bohemia......A real gem, compared to the beers brewed just around the corner in the neighbourhood: Veltins (gulp!) and Warsteiner ( cough...)........

Swing-top bottle: Pale golden coloured with a touch of orange, small, stable white head; moderate citrousy nose with faint traces of hops in the background; sweet fruity-sourish flavour; short, a bit "dryer" citrousy finish with distinctive traces of hops in the aftertaste. Not too bad.......

Greige, creamy head over well carbonated black beer, foxy shine. Blackcurrant, black chocolate, brown sugar on bread, all fading aroma’s. Dark malts, melanoidine-rich. Lots of restsweetness but balanced by dry-bitterish flavours: woody, slightly hoppy, tannine-like. Whiffs of coffee and cigarette ashes. Dry and sweet at the same time, light to medium body. Very good balance for this Dunkel. Plain but forthright, "quaffable". Kudo’s to these people.

Hazy pale yellow with greenish shine; good, collapsing white head. Sweet, solvent & cloves nose, ending peppery-clovey and fruity. Disconcerting taste, first quite bitterish, and a fishy, fish-spawn, sweet herring; bit of banana but restrained, as is the sweetness, more alleviated by a slight sourish, typically wheat touch. Medium bodied, wheat slickness. Disconcerting, yes, but nowhere bad, despite the strange associations I made. Good, danke, joss .

Huge yellow-beige head; amber beer with olive highlights. (Dark German) bread, sourdough, ending sweet-nutty, crème de noix . Quite bitter, autumn leaves, earthy flavours, background is again bready with some sweetness, but sourdough impression is gone. Has some Bock-like aspirations. This is way better than most Märzens. Medium bodied, refreshing. Hops on the aftertaste, again leafy. Extremely good example of the style. Big thanks to joss.
