Pours a very hazy, quite opaque golden. Didn't get much head for a weizen (the glass it was poured in wasn't 100% proper though), ok retention, not much lacing. Average to slightly below average intensity in the aroma: yeasty, soft/white bread base, a healty amount of spiciness (can clearly detect just clove), banana. Ok aroma, very simple. Taste notes follow the aroma quite closely, perhaps with a bit of vanilla showing up. Mandatorily sweet, as usually cut/balanced by a hint of sourness, though the overall balance felt a bit sweeter than the average weizen. As for the aroma, so-so taste intensity. Light to medium bodied, average carbonation (less carbonated than usual per style); felt easily drinkable and slick, slightly silky. Overall: nothing more than averagely good, actually felt a bit too average.

It is the typical classical German lager, a bit metalic, malty, bready, a bit watery, some hop, yellow and gold body, average, 03.04.17, tasting it at Bonfol and buying it at Freiburg am Breisgau.

In my opinion, it is a decent beer for the style, perfect when you are thirsty, a bit metalic, malt, hop, a bit watery, classical, 11.03.17, serving me at Freiburg, in our rented flat, buying it at one Edeka.

0.33 l bottle from 'EDEKA Schwörer' (Endingen), best before March 2026. Slightly hazy, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, a bit fruity-floral aroma of grains, straw and hints of lemon peel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, malty, a bit fruity-floral taste of grains, straw, some honey and traces of lemon peel, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant brew, fairly quaffable. Much better than the filtered Pils.

For the style, it is a nice beer, it sounds a bit like an achel blonde, malty and there is a really pleasant touch of honey at the final, 12.04.17, purchased this beer, during one of my trip, in Freiburg am Breisgau, tasting it at Lausanne, Prélaz.
