Bottle looks very simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, small head. Dry malty aroma. Starts mild, malty, metallical notes. Dry bitter background. Could be more balanced. Not my favourite.

"Hetzelsdorfer Bier - Leicht", Flasche, 12.10.2025. - Kupfergold, klar. - In der Nase leicht ruppige krautige und herbale Hopfung über leise karamelligem Malz. - Antrunk dünn und blaß säuerlich toastmalzig mit solider aber leicht schroffer herbaler Hopfung. Durchschnittlich rezent, schlank. Im Abgang zart metallisch. - Ein leichtes Frankenlager (also nicht Pils oder Helles) ist immerhin eine Seltenheit; leider ist dieses bestenfalls durchschnittlich ausgefallen.

Bottle from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Sweetish malt aroma with caramel, stewed fruits, some buttery notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with low bitterness. Body is medium. Rustic take on a Bock, bit too buttery for my taste.
