Pale blond color. Aroma of lemon peel, soda, magnesia, herbs. Sweet lemonade, almost no beer character. Average palate. I can't find the peppermint (maybe something just at the very end). Pleasant, but I'm not evaluating it as a beer…

Blond color. Corn and vanilla aroma. Really ordinary, quite dry; just better at the end (quite strong bitterness), but short.

Bottled. Pale golden. Fruity, mild and lightyl papery with rounded, deep malt character. Low bitterness. I always get the feeling that the Ziegelhof beers has a lot of potetntial.

Very simple lager; final less bitter than the Eichhof Pony (and without the blood and metallic note).

Very simple lager. They promise Doppelt gehopft, but the hop is strong only in the final, very long for such beer. As Bov uses to say: blood taste, and somehow metallic.

5.1
Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5

Mix of lager beer and white sweet wine.
Light muscatel aroma, predominant sweet taste, balanced by some beer dryness in the palate; very poor beer characteristics.
The production has been discontinued, and the bottles withdrawn from the market when the French Champagne organization complained for the improper use of the name.
