Gold with a frothy, white head. Mildly malty aroma has a hint of dough and metal. Taste is more interesting, mildly bitter up front, trends abruptly sweeter at the back with a bit of fruit candy, then finishes bitter. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation, nice chewiness. Okay.

Hohenthanner Schloßbrauerei St. Sixtus, 8 %, Flasche vom Craftbeer-Shop.com. - Dunkles Rotbraun, klar. - In der Nase sattes dunkles und Karamelmalz, Rübensirup, blasse Zitrusfrucht. - Im Antrunk schweres Dunkelmalz mit satter karamellig-sirupartiger Süße, Zuckerrübensirup, Trockenpflaume und schweren Melanoidinen (Brotkruste, etwas Lakritz). Erst allmählich läßt die fette Süße leichte Zitrusfrucht von milde Herbe durch. Milder rezent, vollmundig aber glatt, gut kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang fein röstmalzbitter und nur vage hopfenherb. - Trotz stattlicher 18,9° Plato nicht sehr tief sondern eindimensional dunkelmalzig und sehr süß. Mir fehlt da die markante Hopfung eines fränkischen Bockbieres. (5.3.2022.)

Trocken bitterer Antrunk. Moderat würzig, herb, pappig, wenig hopfig. Konstante Aromatik, mittellanger Abgang. Okay. 7/8/8/9/9/8

Süffiger, hell herber Beginn. Moderat hopfig, frisch, zunehmend bitter. Spritzig, konstante Aromatik, weich. Gut trinkbar. 8/9/9/9/9/9

A really nice and refreshing beer. Balanced malt and herbal hop profile Hazed golden pour and a fine head Pleasant intensity in the aroma Balanced sweetness/bitterness and a fine carbonation level Easy to drink Malty, herbal and some citric notes the flavor Balanced and fine [Bottle from Systembolaget in Sweden]

500ml can purchased at the Costco in Overland Park, Kansas as part of the 2021 Advent Calendar (this was day 16). The pour is a very slightly hazed golden with an 1 1/2 inch foamy white head. The aroma is a nice soft clove, grain, lemon citrus and the slightest hint of banana yeast. The taste is a mix of the lemon citrus, the clove and banana yeast. The flavors are fairly mild, though clean and balanced. The palate is medium to light bodied with an unfiltered mouth feel and soft carbonation. The clove banana yeast carries the finish. Decent.

0,5 l bottle from Zisch, Wildeshausen. Cloudy dark red brown with a nearly two finger and pale beige head. Malty and sweet dried fuity smell. Taste is more sweet malty and less fruity. Little bit bready and toasted malt. Low bitterness, slick at the palate. Nice.

500 ml bottle. Clear dark golden, creamy head. Caramel, malt, hay, metal. Malty sweetness, metallic bitterness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, malty metallic finish.

Can from the advent calendar. Hazy deep gold, shiny. Rather odd nose, plastic and cloves, wheat. Flavor also odd, oxidized, plastic notes, not showing the proper weizen yeast notes. Somewhat oily. No thanks.
