500ml bottle. Opalescent, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grainy, strawy, husky and spicy, pale malty as well as slightly unspecific, hoppy aroma, whiffs of protein. Taste is spicy, slightly grainy pale malty with subtle residual sweetness and moderately bitter, herbal-grassy hoppy, hints of thistle, nettle, a touch of salty cracker, mineral overtones, a touch of protein as well.
Oily-watery texture, smooth, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Nice composition, nice rural, earthy aspects, fairly meaty - good.

On tap at Wagner, pours a clear pale golden with a large white head. Aroma has toasted bready malt, light spiciness, and straw. Flavour is lightly sweet and malty, with soft bready malt, cereal grains, and straw. Clean and drinkable, but nothing extraordinary.

With Mikkeller! I can't think of any other Franconian breweries who have collaborated with a non-German brewery. This tastes like what it is, a German-style lager with a Danish spin.

Clear amber. Aroma is caramel malt light almond noble hops, feinwürzig. Taste is rather full bodied sweet malt with a tiny bitter hop hinge. Rather dense and low carbonation. Long bitter finish. Not bad.
