Draught Golden, clear colour; good whipped-creamy head. Dry, herbal, malty with a touch of hops, and sesame-like finish for nose. Dry-herb pilsner, quite some hops, and in the taste, the malt surfaces after some time. Faraway, not-sour lactic touch. Good body for a Pilsner, hop in the aftertaste again. Now this is southern German Pilsner!

Bottle (Vroni’s): Amber coloured, hazy, thin, but lasting foamy white layer; shy herbal, spicy hoppy nose, some hints of grainy fruitiness; initial dry maltiness switches over into a medium malty body and ends in a long, dry, spicy bitter finish; very low carbonated ( ungespundet), well rounded and soft; very well quaffable.......

Bottle (from Vroni’s Bamberg): Straw golden colour, thin white foam; slightly grassy hoppiness in the aroma, also grainy fruitiness with traces of bread; starts malty, dry malty and also earthy flavour, ending soon in a short, bitter,malty aftertaste. Not a great pleasure, kind of "green", unripe.......

Sampled draught at Brauerei Wagner, Merkendorf.
Pale amber, not much head. Nicely malty and rather soft, yet dry. Clean with rather bitter finish.

Having moved 50m or so from Hummel, basically across this tiny village, it's time for the next brewery stop. This carefully carbonated amber lager beer was served ina ceramic mug. It was dry, yet rather soft. The flavour was grassy and clean, and it had a long herbal spicy, bitter finish. 6-4-7-4-12 = 3.3
Re-rate, Gravity cask at Zum Franziskaner, Stockholm. Clear pale amber, small head. Fruity, bready, mildly grassy nose. Mid sweet with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Creamy and bready, mildly grassy. Mild spicy bitterness. Very harmonious.
