bottle. Pale yellow, large head. Nose: honey. Quite nice flavours for an alcohol-free beer. Well-balanced, malty and hoppy, dry finish. A bit thin, of course, but quite a good alcohol-free lager.

bottle. Pale yellow, large and fluffy head. Hoppy nose. Hoppy flavours, slightly malty. A bit watery and thin. I liked the alcohol-free beer from the same brewery much better than the alcohol-reduced.

(swing top bottle, from quack-duck) Clear, dark mahogany colour with a fluffy tanned foam, slowly lacing. Slightly dusty, mild-roasty malty aroma with a touch of caramel, cacao and a whiff of hops. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Toast-malty taste, notes of caramel; quite slim, malty finish with toffee and faint herbal hops. Not exceptional, but likeable.

(bottle, traded with quack-duck) Clear, golden colour with a foamy white medium head. Shy, light-sweet, strawy, grainy aroma with a whiff of honey and traces of spicy hops. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium to light bodied. Grainy malty taste with a touch of honey towards the finish, which is slightly sweet and a bit sticky with light herbal hoppy notes. Okay but nothing world-shaking.

Bottle. Clear light yellow golden color with a small fair lacing white head. Aroma is moderate malty, sweet, grain, fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Good balance. Body is light to medium, texture is watery. Nice and easy to drink.

Bottle. Purchased at a rest stop somewhere east of Zurich (apparently the Swiss don’t trust the truck drivers as much as the Germans). Sweet malt aroma and flavor - clear golden color with small head.. Could only handle a few drinks before I had to dump it.

Metallic golden, with ever so slightly yellowish, dense, whipped eggwhite-like head. Herbal nose, pilsnermalt, fresh greenery. Quite sweet, very malty, grains. Very slight bitterish lining retronasal, but not enough to be called hoppy. Quite fullbodied brew for a rather discretly alcoholic beer. Quite prickly, carbonised MF. Soft, mild Festbier. It’s typically well-made, but cannot aspire to any real greatness. Thanks for this rare bird, Sebastian!
