The bottle looks very simple. The beer is not really balanced. The end very metallically, not a ggod beer.

The bottle looks good. The beer in the glass also. Fruity, light - as every Kölsch, in the end little bit washy - an average Kölsch.

The bottle looks a little bit boring. The beer is very fruity with a dry finish, not bad!

Bottled. A golden beer with a thick off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of malt and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of lemon and dusty hops. The body is thin. Not as clean as a Kölsch should be.

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and very malty, but also with light notes of grain. The flavor is sweet and again very malty with lighter notes of grain and straw. A bit heavy for a Kölsch.

Der Geruch erinnnert mich stark an... abgefahrene Autoreifen oder etwas ähnliches, da mag ich mich niht so festlegen. Ein herber, bitterer Antrunk, der auch im Mittelteil dominiert. Ein Nachgeschmack ist kaum auszumachen. Definitiv nicht gelungen. 28.12.05 Eine erneute Verkostung ergab, dass die obrige Beschreibung dem Produkt zu 99,99% entspricht. Test vom 1.4.2005, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 5,6,7,3,6,6 - 5,60

400ml von fass, outdoor seating at Salong in Trier. Clear and light coloured body. Low-level foam. Rounded aroma of grass. Initial tangy malt followed by a vague taste of smooth hops. Slightly sweet. Dry ending. Clean tasting and rather well bodied (13.09.2007).
