bottle - díky! Cloudy golden with a creamy tall white head. Yeasty, wheaty and not as fruity as many modern examples of the style. Classic and good.

Greif-Bräu Weihnachtsfestbier, Flasche von Grabsch, Berlin-Lichterfelde. - Kupfergoldbraun, blank. - In der Nase schön toastig-nussiges Malz, Karamel, hintergründige Hopfenherbe. - Antrunk angenehm toastmalzig, fein gerstig, mit milder Karamelsüße. Dezente, blaß orangenfruchtige Hopfenherbe. Durchschnittlich rezent, für ein Festbier recht schlank aber nicht dünn. Im Abgang etwas zu milde, orangenfruchtige und zart pfeffrige Hopfenherbe, die sich gegen die nachklingende Toastmalzsüße nicht durchsetzen kann. Leicht metallischer Nachtrunk. - Schön toastmalziges, nur mild gehopftes Bier. Etwas dünn aber solide.

Bottle from a local supermarket. Looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts mild, malty, mild yeasty. Fine sweetish notes, not too intense. Fruity hints of banana. Well balanced finish and quite drinkable. Nice!

Thanks to the boys again for this one. Aroma is caramel, nuts, a whiff of dried dates, overripe banana, some grains, a little syrup. Taste is caramel forward malt sweetness with some lesser grassy hop tartness. Full body, kinda chewy, almost oily, still quaffable and light. A perfect example of a beer that is quaffable yet full bodied. Long sweet caramel finish. Good.
