0,33 l swing top bottle from Rewe, Bad Pyrmont. Now labeled as 1863 Hell and without the Bio sticker. Clear dark golden in the glass with a fine foamy more than one finger white head. Looks really good. Low grainy aroma with caramel, little bit metallic. Taste is more on the caramel side, smooth grainy, some sweetness in the background. Low bitterness as expected. Mid carbonation. Okay.

Golden, clear with a medium white head. A grainy, hops and malt aroma. Light bitter with a malt and hop end. Gutersloh holiday 2023

Bottle. Somewhat cloudy dark gold/copper/orange with a righteous white head. Aroma of malts, grains and some spicy hops. Taste of malts, honey, grains and minerals. Moderate bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. It’s alright and at least better than expected.

25/3/2023. Bottle courtesy of Boris, cheers. Shared at SBGP1. Pours bright copper brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of toffee, biscuit, vanilla, tobacco, syrup, slight stewed and veggie edge. Quite sweet with light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, a little watery , average to soft carbonation. Finishes watery. Not bad but a bit underwhelming for the style.

0.33 l bottle from 'Vollkornbäckerei Niemand', best before July 2023. Clear, amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly malty, gently floral and minimally fruity aroma of honey, some caramel and hints of pear. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly floral and a little fruity taste of honey, caramel, grains, sultanas and some pear, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish.
