Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

500 ml bottle from the duty-free shop at the airport. Aroma is soft cracker malt and light honey -ish grain. Flavor is weak honey, weak minerals and a weak yeast in the finish. Overall impression it’s a little bit better than the previous Dortmunder.

500 ml bottle from the duty-free shop at the airport. Aroma is weak cracker malt and mild minerals. Flavor is sweet bread, weak milled grain and a weak yeast in the finish. It does end clean on the palate. Not great. Not bad.

16 oz. can in the trade with Scott and Linda. Aroma is bold, orange, and tangelo. Flavors of old amount of citrus fruits. Remind me most of sweet tangerine and oranges. Texture is very juicy with zero bitterness per the style. She was a very light citrus path in the finish that is not better. I bet on draft this was a beast!

5l draft @ Haxenbauer. Aroma is indeed lemons and light mall. The body shows a little bit of malt to go along with a lemonade. Light crisp body. Again, it was a very warm day in Germany today. Really refreshing in the heat.
