500ml swing top bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester. Light brownish amber, clear with a small constellation of white head. Malty aroma, slightly resinous. Sweet taste, more malt and some orange toffee. Light metallic nite near the finish. Watery body, quite heavy carbonation. Not a lot to it but it is a decent German amber.
