Almost black with clear ruby highlights. Beige head. The aroma really faint - dark sugars and burnt grain / husk. Moderate sweetness, slightly bready, bread crust, strong roasty bitterness. A bit rough, not bad overall.

Crystal clear golden, white head with some lacing. The aroma is fine sourdough bread, light unsweet fruit with a touch of fruit skins. The taste imaculate dryish pale malts, with a very light fruity notes and crisp firm body. A kiss of herbal hop bitterness in the finish, not more. As clean as it gets.

Really hazy dullish amber, frothy off-white head. Loads of caramel and butterscotch, hops are getting lost behind those. The taste has a mellow generic mold fruit soft juicy caramel and that butterscotch, that actually blends in nicely here. Big enough spicy pungent bitterness. Not as bad as it seems.

Almost clear golden, white frothy head. Fresh raw cereals macerated malț sweetness, a little medicinal, soft body, low bitterness. Basically, same beer as Helles... But with at least some bittering hops, which makes it much more polished and drinkable. Decent.

Hazy golden amber, white head. Smells of raw unmalted cereals, soft pale malt sugars, some sulphites. No maltose, no hops - ascetic, but clean. The taste is just that - light and mellow macerated pale malt sweetness, no hop, no bitterness but not much residual sugars either. Soft mouthfeel. Very clean. A beer (as in "fermented cereal sugar beverage") in its primal form.
