5.9/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5.5 Texture 8 Overall 5
Bottle. Slightly cloudy dark orange/amber sporting a massive white head. Aroma of malts (think Malzbier) and caramel. Taste of malts, wort, minerals, caramel, bread and honey. Low bitterness. Strong carbonation. It‘s a little bit too sweet for my tastes but not bad per se.

Can. Clear pale yellow with a proper white head. Aroma of floral hops, grains and straw. Taste of grains, straw, hints of lemons, floral hops and some malts. Low bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Easy drinking and inoffensive by design. It is what it is but I don’t think anyone was waiting for this.

Draft @ Gaststätte Seybold, Nersingen. Dark Brown with a big white/beige head. Aroma and taste of malts, liquorice, caramel, dried fruits, some chocolate and a little bit of smoke. Just a little bit sweet. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Very nice. Well we liked it so much that I ran to fetch a fourpack from the Rewe across the street.

Bottle. Clear pale yellow/gold with an ok white head. Aroma and taste of lemons, grains and grass with a healthy dose of skunkiness. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Inoffensive, bland and very far removed from being considered delicious.

Bottle. Black with a small beige head. Aroma of cocoa, chocolate and roasted malts. Taste of chocolate, roasted malts, minerals, cocoa and grains with hints of Port but that might be just by association. Moderate bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Watery but somehow also kind of creamy. Slightly alcoholic as well. It’s nice but the size of the bottle is way too small. I mean, come on!
