1 liter mug, tap at Bamberg Sandkerwa fest. Pours golden, white head. Aroma is herbal, piney. Taste, has a light floral note and grains. Lightly malty and hoppy. Many people seemed to stop for this beer thinking it was a honey beer, but it was the name of the brewery. The beer has not much special, it is unfiltered, drinkable.
