Mit 5,1 % für ein Export ein eher geringer Alkoholgehalt. Sehr helle Farbe. Minimale Trübung. Schaumentwicklung gerade noch OK. Frucht, Blumen, etwas Honig und trockenes Getreide in der Nase. Kommt auch beim Trinken so raus, vielleicht mit leichtem Überhang Richtung Frucht und Getreide. Etwas trockener Sekt ergänzt das Ganze. Recht spritzig. Eigentlich mag ich es weicher lieber, aber hier passt das echt gut.

Bottle picked up from Degenhart Getrankemarkt, Deggendorf and consumed at home Saturday 29th March 2025 listening to Ela Minus - Día, cooking Mushroom and Rice Stuffed Peppers in a Sour Cream Sauce. Pours clear gold, actually it's a warm gold. Solid festbier, clean, slightly on the sweet side, malty but with a background bitterness and hoppiness. Clean fresh nose.

Bottle picked up from a random getrankemarkt in Straubing and consumed at home with Lynn and Barry Thursday 20th March 2025, Barry also had one of these. We had homemade Schnitzel and Chips for tea and listening to a playlist on Tidal that I'd put together earlier. Pours hazy dark yellow, actually brownish. There is a mild fruity note, with a little clove and peachiness, plus wheatiness of course. Taste is more of the same with banana, warmth from the abv, decent stuff.

Bottle picked up from a random Getrankemarkt in Straubing and consumed at home Monday 17th March 2025. Pours gold, mid/large white head. Yeah this is a pretty poor Alkoholfrei bier, bland, usual taint, very little too recommend.

Bottle picked up from a random Getrankemarkt in Straubing and consumed at home Friday 14th March 2025 we had Spinach, Ricotta and Pine Nut Cannelloni whilst listening to Hüsker Du - Zen Arcade and now Heartworms - Glutton for Punishment. This pours clear gold, white head, a touch sweet and malty, no real bitterness, oh maybe there's a little bit. It's not without its charms but also not really wowing me.
