Draught: Seems to be deep golden, medium-sized, lacy white head, solid sweet-malty and delicate hoppy nose; solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied, smooth; juicy malt, indeed, in the lingering sweet-bitter finish. Knoblach is good........

Bottle (Vroni’s Bamberg) Light amber coloured, thin, lasting off-white firm head; fruity (honey, plums) and malty aroma, combined with some herbal hoppiness, some smoky or wooden notes ?!?!? Soft, sweetish, fruity beginning; mild bitter-sweet flavour; dry, bitter and "barrique-like" aftertaste, long lasting. A very good and very unusual example of a franconian Lager !

Bottled. A dark golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and cardboard, and the body is thin. Boring. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is primarily buttery, and so is the flavor with an underlying note of malt.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear nut brown, minimal head. Roasty metallic nose. Medium sweet and lightly toasty with rounded mouthfeel. Finishes with metal and blood. A bit too much surface and too little content, more in line with American brewpubs than Franconian.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear amber, minimal head. Grassy nose. dry with clean rounded mouthfeel. Lightly woody with less inviting malt character than in most Franconian lagers. Instead grassy bitter hops come to dominate. No smoked malt used, whatever the name suggests.

Draught at the brewpub. Probably amber, small head. Spicy sharp grassy nose. Dry with clean rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Aggressively hoppy and very resiny with megabitter finish. A hop bomb Franconian style.
