0.5 l bottle from 'Craftbeershop.com', best before October 2024. Clear, very dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of molasses, raisins, prunes and light caramel. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity and minimally vinous taste of molasses, raisins, prunes and hints of caramel, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Good Doppelbock, very much on the fruity side, exactly how I like it.

"Tegernseer Leicht", Flasche von Ambrosetti. - Lichtes Goldgelb, blank: noch nie hatte ich ein so durchsichtiges Bier im Glas. - In der Nase die blasse Süße, die man von Alkoholfreien kennt, und ganz blasse Zitronenschale. - Antrunk dünn getreidig-hellmalzig mit blasser Malzsüße, einem Hauch von Vanillezucker und milder, schwach zitroniger Hopfung, die in dieser dünnen Malzumgebung gut zur Geltung kommt. Leise Anklänge an Pappe, die sich aber schnell verlieren. Milder rezent, weich. Im Abgang blasse grasig-zitronige Hopfung. - Gar nicht übel gemachtes Dünnbier mit einer auf den leichten Körper abgestimmten, milden aber doch aromatischen Hopfung, rund und süffig. Ausgezeichnetes Schankbier. (18.1.2024.)
