0.5l can. This pours a light clear golden body with a quickly fading and sidesticking white lager head. Aroma is low. Notes of citrus and pale malts. Perhaps even something that reminds me of gymnastic socks! Lively carbonation, light bodied and it has a watery texture. Tastes mild and light malty. Notes of thin licorice?, hay and it has really low bitterness. Drinkable as a lager, but not very good.

0.5l can. This is a clear pale golden beer with a medium sized white sidesticking head. Aroma is light grainy and malty with perhaps a tiny hint of caramel. Light oily mouthfeeling, average carbonation and medium to light-bodied. Tastes alright. There's some pale malts, thin and almost watery notes of caramel, even a little bit of banana and sweet corn in this one! Ends light bitter with some hints of alcohol in the aftertaste. Good enough.

Boring, bordering-crap basic lager. The first sip is a quite nasty surprise and it doesn’t get better over time. Also, meager aftertaste.

Bottle looks simple but okay. Beer in the glass very zippy, nice head. Starts mild but not washy, more and more hoppy-dry, fine spicy. Well balanced finish, quite drinkable. Really nice!

Bottle. Pale gold with a thin head. Sweet malt and veg aroma. Flavour is sweet with metallic notes and a lingering bitter finish. Palate is a little sour metal

Bottle, thanks Pivnizub. Citric and grassy hop aroma. Pale hazy golden, white foam, low carbonation. Chewy malt start, light pepper, good aromatic hops layered on a dry grassy base - bice broad hop profile. Citric and grassy retronasal. Dry on the palate, sparkly on the tongue. A crowbar wrapped in velvet.

Der Geruch verspricht ein einigermaßen gutes Bier, der Geruch ist herb-frisch, wie man ihn auch von einigen anderen Bieren dieser Art kennt, aber auch leicht fruchtig. Das Aroma geht soweit in Ordnung, auch wenn der Geruch mehr versprochen hatte. Säuerlich und metallern im Mittelteil, im Nachgeschmack dann einigermaßen herb. Test vom 18.12.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,6,5,7,2,5 - 5,60

Das Bier startet typisch herb, diese herbe ist von der Intensität her durchweg fast gleich. Deutliche malzige und auch süße Aromen kommen im Mittelteil hinzu. Der Nachgeschmack ist leicht bitter und durchaus exporttypisch, wobei dieser etwas trocken wirkt. Exporte gefallen mir meist nicht, dieses ist eine positive Ausnahme. Test vom 24.10.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 14,12,12,12,7,12 - 11,95
