Pale blond color. Poor aroma and flavor, indeed quite watery; also quite dry. Poor.

Bottle 40 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear yellow with a tiny white head. Odd, unclean malt aroma. Medium body, malty but again not very clean - some sulphur. Hardly any bitterness. 301109

Small, fluffy, just-off white head, fast gone over orangey-golden beer. Neutral-herbal nose, with just a touch of caramel, and an even slighter point of solvent. Bitterish-near hoppy initial flavour, going over in a faint sweet taste as from chestnut flour. Backthroat a spritzy metallic tang, that gradually becomes sourish, as a galvanic current; Very light body, falls dead. Generally too bland.

Good white head, lasting but untidy, over clear metallic-golden beer. Grain nose with faint vanilla whiff, cucumber and... water. Grainy with unpleasant, if short, artichoke or waterpaint finish; rest of the "palate" reverting to neutral-to-near-sweetish dull flavour, indifferent in the extreme. Wa-te-ry with sticky underslung, giving no body. Ouff. Living off its German-sounding name, I presume. And "Pleasantly hopped"???? One hops with those green thingamagummies, not with boiled water, OK?
