Bottle picked up from a Getrankemarkt nr Ulm and consumed at home Tuesday 17th February 2026 listening to FM4 and cooking Spinokopita and also Greek Potatoes, it's been a day of snow, snow and more snow. Lively pour but after losing a mouthful or two this pours clear gold with a large white head. Fruity tang but there's a very light sweet and wheatiness coming through. Don't normally go for Kristal Weizens but this is ok. Score 6.6

Sharing this bottle with my wife, yesterday with mushrooms that I have found in the forest. A basic and refreshing lager, personally, I prefer the original version. This one is soft, watery, malty, smooth, basical bitterness, 21.12.23, at Epalinges.

Bottle picked up from a Getrankemarkt in Günzburg and consumed at home Friday 3rd October 2025 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music and cooking Pumpkin Gnocchi with Peas in a Creamy Tarragon Sauce. Pours dark brown, murky with an off white/light beige head. Caramel on the nose and also in the mouth, there's a dark fruity tang also. Good Dunkel but also a bit straightforward and not offering up anything out of the ordinary.

Bottle picked up from a Getrankemarkt in Günzburg and consumed at home Thursday 2nd October 2025 sat listening in the dining room to Nathan Shepherd New Music Fix on 6Music, Deb Grant not around this evening. We listened to a very good edition of Round Table with Huw Stephens earlier. Anyway onto the beer, it pours clear gold, warm gold, large white head but this soon departed. Soft mouthfeel, sweet maltiness it's 5.5% but drinks like a 3.5% beer, very easy drinking, there's a light bitterness but it's very well integrated and doesn't detract. Really good beer.
