Blond color. Very ordinary beer, just a sweetish version of a Pale Lager. .

On tap at Berliner Bierfestival. It was served with a clear, copper body, topped by a creamy, beige head. That was probably the best part of the beer. It wasn’t bad, far from, but maybe a bit boring, especially on the nose. The aroma was both a bit weak, and a bit one-dimentional, with caramel and hops, and not much more showing up. It had malt and caramel in the mouth as well, but there was a nice fruity touch to accomplish the medium mouthfeel. It finished malty. Although it is a bit anonymous, it’s a quite nice beer. Rating: 4-4-5-3-10-2.6. (070803)
Had the beer from bottle the day after, and that was a far better experience. The pour was the same, a clear, copper body and a nice, beige head. The aroma and flavor was far better though, with caramel, well roasted bread, yeast-notes and a little fruityness. The flavor had caramel, dark bread, sweetness and a bitterness. It finished with caramel, bread-crusts and some bitterness. Medium body with maybe a bit too much carbonation, but not in a bad way. A lovely, dark landbier. (070804)

Wässriger Antrunk. Das dies ein Rauchbier ist, lässt sich hier nur erahnen, auch im Mittelteil ist dies nur wage zu erkennen, hier baut sich das Aroma auf, ihm geht aber die Luft aus, bevor es so richtig loslegen kann. Zusätzlich etwas herb und durchaus würzig, fast vollmundig. Zum Abgang hin nimmt das Raucharoma wieder etwas ab, daneben bleibt die Herbe noch etwas länger bestehen. Darunter ist das Bier allerdings merkbar wässrig. In Ordnung. Test vom 11.9.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,10,11,11,11,11

Herb-malziger Antrunk, die Herbe lässt schnell nach, der malzige Ton ist allerdings auch im Abgang noch schmeckbar. Im Mittelteil wirkt die Malzigkeit würziger, dafür mit wässrigem Unterton. Im nachgeschmack weiter malzig, etwas hopfig, getreidig. Test vom 5.9.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,11,10,8,9,9 - 9,20

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Hazy golden, rich head. Plenty of hay-like hops up front. Medium dry with firm, soft mouthfeel. A wealth of oily, grassy, spicy hops spreads warmth and a pleasant strong bitterness. A near perfect quencher.

Amber brown with a nice white head. Aroma is straw/malts - light sweet. Thin palate. Basically taste like water. Ok lacings - light caramel & very metallic. How can this score so high?? It is Garbage!

Hazy brown with o.w head. Aroma is of sweet malts - light smokey. Medium bodied. Bacon & ashtray all the way. Lasting finish. This is one of a few styles I simply cannot stand!!!

Das Bier startet sanft würzig mit dezent herber Note. Dieses sanfte, auf die Dauer aber recht einfach wirkende Zusammenspiel setzt sich im Mittelteil fort. Hier scheint das Malz einen Vorschlag wagen zu wollen, was wünschenswert wäre, dies passiert dann aber leider doch nicht. Im Nachgeschmack wird das Bier wann etwas würziger und wirkt hier sehr vollmundig. Test vom 22.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,10,11,11,9,11
