Frothy white head on an unclear amber coloured body. Malt, pine, herbal & resinous aroma. Medium sized, soft over the tongue with a sticky back. Herbal, malt, spicy, pine & berry tastes with lightly hopped bitter finish. Lovely quaffer.

Flaska från Bierothek. Valnötsfärgad vätska med högt stabilt smutsvitt skum. Stor kropp, mjuk och len, relativt torr, massor av malt, bröd, mjölkchoklad, mjöl, en lätt fruktig sötma, mörka bär. Lätt beska. Mycket gott

500ml bottle. Opalescent, orange, golden colour with average, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, minimally starchy and spicy, pale malty aroma, a touch of floral honey. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally starchy, pale malty, mildly bitter, hoppy counterpart, hints of honey, floral honey; lingering, sweet-ish finish with a hoppy bite. Creamy texture, smooth, soft and silky, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft carbonation. Well crafted (nice colour, good mouthfeel), clean, a bit cautious, simple and monotonous - OK.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden and lightly gushy. Then thin head. Nose - unusual for a lager, there's banana esters. Also caramel and light bread. Taste - sweet banana bread. Palate - light to medium bodied, a bit sweet really. Overall - not sure about this one.

--Bottled at TEJA tasting. -- Clear golden, small head. Distinct grassy nose. Mid dry with solid body and well rounded mouthfeel. Grassy with solid, grainy yet creamy mouthfeel. Long bitter warming finish. Interesting dry bockbier.
