(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a blond and short frothy head. Slightly strawy malty aroma with notes of cereals and shades of herbal and slightly grassy hops. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a mildly prickly carbonation. Initially sweet malty and mildly grainy with herbal hoppy spice tuning in from the middle part, giving the right balance towards the finish. Good. 24.III.17

Draft at the brewery during the Bamberg Jolly of January 2014. Pours clear, dark gold with a foamy, off-white head. Solid low octane dunkel. Pleasant notes of toasted bread, light tin, leaves, brown sugar. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish with further notes of toasted bread and mellow brown sugar. Nice.

Draft at the brewery during day 2 of the Bamberg Jolly of January 2014. Pours clear gold, effervescent, with a frothy white head. Great stuff. Some sugary cereals, white bread, light hay, lemon meringue. Light bodied with average carbonation. Moderately clean on the finish, with continuing sweet cereal, a little bitter hay. Lovely, easy-drinking beer, although a bit basic.
