It is an average wheat beer, refreshing, wheat, banana side, yellow troubled, one of the first beer that I drank in Geneva, a long time ago, when I was living in the Ferrier street, one of the first beer, a bit different of the blonde, at this time of the year 2000/2001

I drank this beer in Geneva, plainpalais. It is not the best amber, the taste is a bit poor in the mouth, some malt, few hop, a bit watery, tasting it a long time ago.

It is a decent beer, close to the schwarz kristall or the same with less alcohol, nuts, roasted malt, hop, few coffee, well balanced, 28.11.16, at Bonfol.

Kolor złoty, klarowny, piana biała, średnio obfita, chce być trwała. Zapach słodowy, dość intensywny, jasne słody, lekka kukurydza, jasny chleb, płatki kukrydziane, minimalne nuty gotowanych warzyw w tle. W smaku pełne, intensywne, jasne słody, jasny karmel, chleb, płatki kukurydziane, średnie zioła, ciężkie nuty roślinne, świeżo skoszona trawa, tapczan, zaczyna się dobrze ale z czasem robi się mało ułożone. Goryczka umiarkowana do niskiej, ale wyraźna, nie za dobrze ułożona, trochę agresywna, kurz, zioła, trawa. W ustach dość śliskie, minimalnie ściągające. Nasycenie umiarkowane. Całość dość intensywna, ale źle ułożona.

This beer is close to the Quöllfrish, because they make this beer from Appenzeller. Typical lage from the Austrian way, from the tap, ok, 10.04.2016, drinking it at Geneva.
