[75cl bottle] Cloudy, orange-amber colour with a huge and light-beige foamy head. Yeasty and moderately sweet and toasted malty aroma with notes of caramel, cacao powder and herbal hops. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly fizzy mouthfeel. Solid toast-malty base, slightly bready, yeasty and minimal worty taste with notes of cacao and caramel. Medium-dry, malt-accented and toasty finish with a tinge of doughy sourness and bitter hops. Decent Dunkel [16.I.09].

(draught at the brewery opening weekend) Cloudy, yellow colour with a dense, medium-sized foamy white head. Yeasty, moderately sweet worty and grainy aroma with a distinctively herbal and slightly grassy hoppy touch, accompanied by notes of draff. Light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Initially yeasty and sweet greenish malty taste, drying out a little bit towards the grainy and surprisingly bitter hoppy finish with herbal and nettle-like spice. The beer lacks obviously maturation but has a nice and present hops-character (07.09.08).

Bottle (0.75 l): Cloudy, pale golden with a visible carbonation; stable mid-sized fluffy head; grainy-yeasty nose, combined with a good dash of aromatic hops; soft, creamy MF, moderate bitter-sweet flavour; lingering aromatic hoppy and sweetish yeasty finish. Far better than the usual german Hausbrauerei-fizz........
