Bottle, courtesy of DerDoppelbock. Golden, low visible carbonation, big creamy head. Fruity malt, spice, light citric hop aroma. Chewy fruity malt base, elegant balance with aromatic hops and light fruit flavors. Fruity and dry exit. Must try it on tap some day...

Draught (in Bonn, its original home): Golden coloured, quite stable fluffy head; grainy, fruity and slightly metallic nose with an illusion of bitterness; light dry bitter flav, light bodied to watery; very short fruity-bitter finish. A quite hoppy Kösch, not the worst example of this a bit boring style......
