(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a big foamy white head. Moderately sweet strawy malty aroma with a shy hoppy touch. Mildly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a pleasantly crisp carbonation. Pale malt-character, slightly buttery and grainy taste with discreetly herbal hoppy notes; sweet-bitter and shy hoppy finish. Typical Lower Bavarian Helles. Clean and easy-going but also quite bland. 12.VIII.10

Flip top bottled (BB 10/2010)
Thanks Edo/bierkoning!
Clear deep amber color, good cloudy beige head. Aroma is very metallic and has herbal (oregano) hoppyness and wet woody notes (pencil, cellar). Light to medium bodied, crisp carbonation. Flavor is quite similar to aroma: iron, some caramel, wood and herbal hoppyness - hard mouthfeel. It is nice to have a traditional beer style, Dampfbier, but I can’t say that I would like to have it again.

Swing-top bottle. Sweet caramel malt and tart cherry aroma. Slightly hazy copper color with small head. Sweet caramel malt evenly blended with a dry cherry flavor. Unique - somewhat like a mix between a dunkel and a bock.
