6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a short creamy white layer. Sweet apricot- and citrus-fruity pale malt aroma with a shy hoppy shine in the background. Bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied with a light carbonation. Pretty dry malty, minimal grainy and herbal hoppy taste; almost lingering bitter and herbal hoppy finish. Really “ungespundet” and almost bone-dry. Except for the colour a classic Franconian Lager (17.02.08).

Bottle (purchased at the Brauerei): Clear golden coloured, visible carbonation, mid-sized, slowly collapsing white head; sweet malty to bisquity nose with a tinge of vegetables; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; a light, but lingering bitterness in the sweet-bisquity finish. O.K., but a bit monotonous.........

5.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
Milder Antrunk, die würzige Note ist wirklich unendlich mild und erinnert anfänglich in keinster Weise an einen Bock. Auch im Mittelteil lässt sich die Sorte nicht erkennen, die Würze hat sich nur wenig verstärkt und hat auch noch Konkurenz von einem süßen und klebrigen Ton bekommen, der später etwas bitter wird und eigentlich der kräftigste ist. Im Abgang ist dieses Aroma ebenfalls führen, hintergründig leichte Bockbiertöne. Entäuschend. Ich habe keine Ahnung mit wem ich dieses Bier getauscht habe, trotzdem danke hierfür. Test vom 7.2.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,7,10,8,11,7 - 8,30
