(bottle, purchased at the brewery) Clear, pale golden colour with a short foamy white head. Sweet and distinctively grainy malty aroma with a tinge of biscuits. Sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied with a soft carbonation. Grainy malty taste with an increasing hoppy note towards the metallic and quite harsh finish. Lacks balance. 13.I.09

Bottle that I picked up from the brewery, June 2010, consumed at Shrewsbury Folk Festival 29.08.10 Poured golden with a touch of haze. Some cereal on nose but there is a touch of the metallic about it as well both on nose and in the mouth. It’s also a little sweet but a pleasant beer. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Bottle thanks to Fin and Loz, cheers guys. This beer shows why I desperately need to go to Bamberg. Love the smokey aroma, as soon as I popped the swing top lid. Clear chestnut with a thick off white head. Smoke, fruit and nut on aroma. Good in mouth, some fullness, bit of harsh carbonation from the bottling. The smoked sausage in the flavour is rather good, but not over done. Still got great drinkability. Man this is so good. Having looked at it for ten minutes now with the head still there and this beautiful clear chestnut colour, it has to be perfect for looks. Thanks to a couple of good friends for bringing me such a great beer. If this was served in the pub down the road from me, I wouldn’t move. Loved it.

On tap at Brauerei Kraus, Hirschaid, during Fin and Loz’s cycle ride around villages to the South and South East of Bamberg, Germany 19-06-10 Pours conker brown maybe a little lighter with an off-white head. Some smokiness on nose and a little nuttiness also. Smoke in mouth, sweetness also, lovely beer, despite the surly young waiter. Sat watching a young clumsy Jay skidding across the nearby tables sqwaking for the attention of its rather shyer parents. A7 A5 F7 P4 Ov14 3.7

Bottled. Reddish golden colour with small head. Aroma is mildly fruity, wooden as well as quite stronly malty. Flavour is quite much the same, but the wooden notes are slightly sour, which makes the beer a bit harsh.
