500ml bottle shared at ZBF 08. 7.2% abv. It’s a pretty standard lager. Decent strength, bit of heat from the alcohol. Niceish hops on the finish, ok malts.

Würziger und mittelmalziger Antrunk. Der Malzton wird etwas röstig und süßer, das Bier insgesamt kräftiger und voluminöser. Zum Abgang hin wird der Hopfen ersichtlich, kurz darauf erscheint würziger Schub, der den Nachgeschmack dominiert. Test vom 10.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,10,11,11,11,11 - 10,65

Schraubverschlußflasche: Golden, mid-sized lacing white head; sweet-sourish and grainy nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; lemony traces in the sweet, slightly honeyish and malty finish, some rudimental hops in the aftertaste. Quite monotonous.......

(screw cap bottle, as Europameister-Bier 2008) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized, slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet and a bit sugary cara-malty nose with a tinge of honey. Moderately sweet flavour, quite slim bodied according to its abv of 6.0%, slightly sharp carbonated mouthfeel. Pale malt character with light notes of cara-malt and honey. Medium-dry, malt-accented, slightly bitter finish. Nothing special, but deceptive brew with an alcohol well-hidden (06.03.08).

Malzig-säuerlicher Antrunk, würziger werdend, die Säuerlichkeit weicht. Die im Mittelteil angenehme und weiche Malzigkeit wird von einer Herbe übertrupmft, die auch im Abgang mit dem Malz um die Vordergründigkeit kämpt. Hier gewinnt das Malz knapp, muss die Herbe aber als Beiton anerkennen. Zunehmend röstig. Test vom 5.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,11,10,10,9,11 - 10,40

Schraubverschlußflasche: Deep golden to very light amber coloured, mid-sized (off-)white head with a little lace; faint grainy aromas with a tinge of toasted malt; light to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, really light bodied for a beer of 5.5% ABV; slightly increasing bitterness towards the short, malty toasty finish. Quite bland and watery.......

Moderately sweet flavour, slightly ashy and chalky malty taste; light to medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel; moderately dry, sweet-bitter malty finish with a shy hoppy shine. Not bad (24.02.08).
