(bottle) Pale and hazy orange colour with a thick foamy white head. Fruity (orange, banana) and yeasty aroma. Thin bodied, soft sweet fruity taste with a malty note and a short tart finish. Very average.

Bottle: Yellow, big fluffy white head; fresh malty nose with some hints of hoppiness; fizzy, begins slightly bready, malty, turns into a quite dry bitter finish; quite light bodied and quite hoppy for a Dortmunder.........

(bottle) Pale golden colour with sticky white foam. As brewed with Australian “Pride of Ringwood” hops it has actually a very hoppy aroma, very herbal and grassy and not too gentle. The flavour is very bitter with a hoppy and tart aftertaste. A light to medium bodied, well-made northern style german Pilsener beer. I like it.

(bottle) Dark red to amber colour with big frothy almost white head, quite lasting. Not much aroma but slight hints of malts. The taste is embarrassing bland, watery, malty with a mediocre bitter finish.

Bottle: pale golden lager with a thin, not long lasting fluffy froth; malty (+ bread+grain) nose with some fruity tinge; begins light malty, the surprisingly clean and crisp "Lager" taste end with some hoppy notes. This beer, created for busy coal-miners, is far better than expected (low budget brew) !

Grown up in the shadows of Hoesch Phoenix Steel Works it is bitter to remember the old Stiftsbräu in the neighbourhood. Nowadays we have a mainstream brew which is sill acceptable according to the price of 7,5 €/20bottles. A quite fine (mainstream) Pils brewed by DAB. But RIP to the old (retired) Stiftsherren Pils of Stifts´ I liked so much during the old school days.

An orange beer with a white head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet and primarily hoppy.

2004 bottle from Julio’s. Pour is a drab black olive-grey meets dark chestnut brown, very clear and transparent with a poorly retained, fizzy beige head. Aroma and flavor smell like Earl Gray tea, which is fine with me, but it certainly dosent smell much like a dunkel. That’s the first thing that came to mind and it stuck. Dry, black tea leaves, light herbal notes, light nuttiness. Perhaps some light anise flavoring and a very very faint touch of sweet malt on the finish. Peppery carbonation, light body.

Och ne schon wieder ein Hansa. Das Bier riecht wie altes Brot, da bekommt man natürlich Lust auf mehr. Nun... es schmeckt auch wie altes Brot, flüssig gemacht und in eine Badewanne mit Zucker geworfen. Wie Hansa das wohl hinbekommt?? 6/2/2/1/3/2
