(Bottle) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried apricots, orange marmalade, bread, honey and a touch of yeast. Malty, fruity taste with apricots, orange marmalade, lemon peel, crisp-bread, honey, a touch of ginger and a mild citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

Ein Bier nach historischem Rezept aus der Zeit vor der Prohibition. Meines fand ich in der Ecke in einem Wiener bottleshop, wo abgelaufenes BIer zum halben Preis abverkauft wurde. Eine andere Flasche aus dem Bereich schüttete ich vorher gerade in den Abfluss, weil es wirklich hinüber war. Da brauchte ich dieses danach zur Beruhigung. Also wie ein klassisches Lager schmeckt es einmal nicht. Es hat eine deutliche bittere Hopfennote und ein paar herbe Töne, die auf dem Malzkörper fußen. Ein durchaus interessantes Bier, das vielleicht nicht perfekt ist, aber gut den Schritt zwischen einfachen Lager und hopfig-aromatischen Craftbier schafft.

Uklar mørk amber med offwhite til lyst beige skum. Aroma malt plomme. Smak malt plomme lim (ikke spør, det smakte bare rart). Mystisk øl som ikke falt veldig i smak, det var noe rart som jeg ikke finner ord. Delt med DjOeye

talán túl sokat pihentettem, de nekem olyan volt mint a teherhajóból leengedett fáradt olaj.
