Bottle: Clear, deep golden coloured with a mid-sized, quite stable fluffy head, sweet-malty, but mainly floral hoppy nose; solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium-bodied; lingering resinous-hoppy and sweet-malty finish. Decent and moreish...........

Bottle: Light amber coloured, lively carbonation, small off-white layer; sweet-malty, but mainly metallic aroma with the faintest traces of toasted malt; moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; drier malty finish with a touch of vegetables and some hoppy rays in the aftertaste. Not the greastest pleasure, unfortunately typical for a Grasser brew..........

Das Bier liegt schwer im Mund, ein alkoholisches Aroma kann nicht abgestritten werden. Dennoch ist das Bier recht süffig, besonders im Antrunk ist es für einen Bock noch recht mild. Im Nachgeschmack ein wenig zu bitter. Test vom 21.2.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,8,9,5,7,7 - 7,25

Bottle
Cloudy yellow, builds up a big head. Clove and citrus aroma. Chewy body, slightly more banana than other franconian weizen but mainly dry chalky clove, sparkly mouthfeel. Doesn’t feel like it has much substance on the first sip, but is quite rich on flavor really. Bready spice and banana aftertaste. Nice.

Malt aroma notes. Dark amber with low carbonation and head. Smoked and fruity malty flavor with a little bit hop on top. Body is somewhat watery, well lagered though - nice natural carbonation.

Bottle (Vroni’s Bamberg): Amber colour, thin, but lasting fluffy head; barnyard smell in the nose, traces of malts and grassy hoppiness; slightly "metallic" malty taste, traces of sweetness, but mainly a dry slightly malty and slightly bitter(in the finish) brew; all in all watery and unpleasant.......

Das Bier riecht hopfig und recht säuerlich. Die Säuerlichkeit bestätigt sich im Mittelteil, in dem auch eine Sortentypische Fruchtigkeit festgestellt werden kann. Der Nachgeschmack behagt mir nicht wirklich, ich sage nur: Hopfenkeule. Hab schon wesentlich besseres getrunken. Test vom 14.8.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,6,7,5,5,7 - 6,85

Für ein Pils ist es relativ süß, was irgendwie überhaupt nicht passt. Im Nachgeschmack schlägt es dann um und wird doch noch herb. Nicht wirklich toll. Test vom 24.5.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,8,6,5,8 - 7,40
