From old tasting notes. Labeled as "Garten Brau Special". Deep, brassy gold color. Tart malty nose. Crisp dry hop flavor. Very much like a German Pilsner.

From old tasting notes. Mahogany brown color leads to a rocky tan head. Clean toasted malt aroma, remiscent of brown bread. Flavorful malty palate is earthy and toasty. Slightly hoppy finish. The malt is the star here. Faithful to the Bavarian Dunkel style.

Aroma is wet grain and some malt. Flavor is carbonic tang up front followed my malt sweetness. Sweet German Pilsner? Can’t remember having had one. This isn’t for me. Mildly sweet finish.

On tap. Pours a clear gold with a slight amber hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has sweet grain and hay with a bit of grass underlying. Flavor has sweet grains with a hint of grass and biscuit supporting.

Bottle: Clear, bubbly, light amber with a short off-white head. Caramel, lemon scent. Caramel malt, and a light earthy bitter taste. Pretty good.

Aroma’s beer and minerals, hint of refinery. Flavor’s on the sweet side. Kind of reminds me a bit of a world beer. Totally forgettable. Lingering sweet finish that isn’t refreshing at all.
