On tap (?) at the Weisses Bräuhaus, Kelheim: Citrousy, hoppy nose with a distinctive hoppy background; light to moderate bitter-tart flavour, light to medium bodied; dryish, short tart-bitter finish. Unharmonic, a bit too tart.........

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a medium-sized frothy white head. Sweet, strong grainy, cereal-like nose that leaves not much room for anything else. Medium-sweet, light bodied with a crispy carbonation. Grainy malty taste with herbal hops; quite dry, slightly papery malty and herbal hoppy finish with notes of metal. Not directly a drain pour but a very tame brew (27.02.08).

On tap at Berliner Bierfestival. A deep golden beer with a beige head. Weak nose, sweet and malty with some hops. Quite malty flavor with a nice bitterness and some sweetness, especially in the finish. Medium body. Decent, but boring. Rating: 3-4-5-3-9-2.4. 070803
Bottle. It pours a clear, dark golden body with an off-white head. Wort-like nose with caramel and a distinct hoppyness. Medium body, dry. The flavor is bready, wort-like and with a pleasant hoppy impact. Dry, bready finish with a touch of dried fruits. Quite decent, but I ain’t gonna spend much time finding another bottle. 100814

[i] [b] Draught at Weisses Brauhaus, Munchen, Germany, 25-01-08 but called Brau Girgl Dunkel [/i] [/b] Dark brown with an off-white clingy head, actually on reflection more mid to dark brown in colour. Nutty tasting some hazelnut’s, soft mouthfeel, bitterness sits towards the back along with a touch of sourness. Quite hard to try this after the Eisbock but still I found this a very nice beer.

On tap at Berliner Bierfestival. Clear, pale golden, with a nice, white head. Grainy nose with some fruityness. Mostly grainy flavor and finish as well. Thin body. A quite boring beer, not bad though. (070803)

Draught, as Klosterbräu Dunkel. OK maltiness in aroma. The flavour is also malty, but seems to have a little sourness.
