7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Tap at Virginia Beach location. Spring seasonal. Amber color, light, with a slight opaqueness to it. Aroma was that of hops, caramel, cherry, and a slight floral note to it. Flavor was nice, light, and a lot more alcohol than I figured it would have.

Tap at Virginia Beach location. Pours hazy orange. Light, and a nice foamy head. Aroma is spices and bananas. Body is pretty light, and has a nice pepper, clove, and banana.

Tap at Virginia Beach location. Clear golden color, with small head. Nothing spectacular about this particular brew, easy to drink but kind of watery in my opinion (low hop and malt flavors).

Tap at Virginia Beach location. Not suprisingly, this was pretty much like practically every other pilsners I’ve had. Crisp, grassy, and watery with a somewhat unpleasant finish. However, I thought this one was a better example of the style.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a dense, white head. Clean, malty nose. Medium body with a clean malt base and some lightly floral hops leaving a solid bitterness. Very German in style. 280307

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, amber golden with a white head that leaves some lacing. Sweetish, lightly caramelish aroma - actually quite close to genuine Bamberg style. The body is medium, with lightly sweet caramel notes. The hops are dry and floral. Quite decent, and a lot better than expected given Gordon Biersches reputation.... 280307

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. While the flavor is sweet malty with dominating notes of caramel, but also lighter notes of metal and prunes.

On Tap in Glendale AZ before the Fiesta Bowl 2007. Pours out a red/brown topped with a small head. An aroma and tast of sweet malt. Not bad.
