0.33l bottle from CroCraft & More, brewed at Weihenstephan (5%) - will need to look into this one, how different it is from the original - though it most likely is very much different from the PIT Kaliningrad version I'd had 13-14 years ago... Clear golden body, off-white head. Bit fruity, malty aroma, smells, well, macroish, lightly floral. Lean, light, soft taste, touch of fruitiness, vague honeyish maltiness, bit stale, low floral-herbal hops, just a vague touch of the latter in the finish. Must be interesting for Weihenstephaner's brewers to take this on - a classic global macro lager that doesn't in any way stick out from the crowd... Well, at least they made it drinkable!

Compulsory drink fee at a venue in Osaka, so may as well…
