(tap at the brewpub in Essen-Borbeck) Clear and dark amber colour with a short foamy, slightly off-white head. Shy sweet and slightly toasted malts aroma with caramel and a touch of vanilla. Dense toasted malty taste with caramel; thin malty finish with a light hoppy blend. Too light bodied and boring Vienna to be really quaffable (16.01.06).

(tap at the brewpub in Essen-Borbeck) Hazy golden colour with a small foamy white head, slowly lacing. Yeasty and sweet malty aroma with hints of citrus-fruits (oranges). Initially moderately sweet malty, yeasty taste with a slightly unpleasant tartness; dry and quite thin light-hoppy finish. Drinkable but boring (16.01.06).

On tap at the brewpub: Amber coloured, off-white stable head, lacing; faint sweetish-malty nose with a tinge of alcohol and hops; sweetis and malty start, becoming soon dryer; better-sweet flavour, medium bodied; long lasting, quite dry bitter-malty finish with a tinge of chocolate; a decent, warming Winter-Bier, not too heavy, not too sweet. Well balanced, well drinkable........

(bottle) Clear golden colour with a small diminishing foamy white head. Slight malty aroma with some hints of grassy hops. Lightly sweet flavour, quite thin malty taste with a mediocre shy bitter finish. A decent Helles.

The aroma is lovely hoppy. The color is a very light yellow and it has a beutiful head. The flavor is of straws and grass and the body is rather thin. A disappointing beer.
