UPDATED: AUG 10, 2020 PET bottle from Aldi Sud. Pours a rich deep red-brown with a lasting tight beige foam and a malty nose with notes of red fruit. Pretty decent - no great depth, and it's perhaps a little bit over-sweet, but it's malty and lightly fruity, with a burnt edge and drying noble hop bitterness. Sure, it's cheap supermarket beer, but they've made a good job of it within the space they've been given.

Sampled from 0.5 l plastic bottle from local ’Aldi’, best before February 2018. Clear, deep brownish red with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, minimally roasty aroma of caramel, brown sugar and nuts with a touch of chocolate. Moderately sweet, malty, slightly grassy-spicy and a bit roasty taste of caramel, toasted nuts, some chocolate and hints of straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy-spicy and a bit dry finish. Medium body, slightly creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not bad actually!

Fruity and not an alt, more like a low quality bitter but its very very cheap.

Decent, foamy head, with a clear brown-ember color. Has aromas of sugary malts, toffee and copper. Taste begins with a mellow, earthy maltiness, which turns sweeter during the drinking process, while its finish adds a subtle bitter note. Carbonation is very lively and well recognizable in a slightly metallic fashion, among settled, earthy malts. Has a one-dimensional, thin body, resluting in a malt-sweetness defined brew. Finishes watery, with bready, toffeish malts still noteable.

Zu Beginn war es recht trinkbar, aber am Ende stellte sich heraus, dass es nur dazu da ist, einen Abend abzuschliessen. Zu malzig, zu suess, keine Zitrusaromen. Von einem classy Malzbier sind wir hier Lichtjahre entfernt.

Pours out of the (plastic) bottle in a deep brown colour with low airy head and medium to thin body. Aroma of cake and malt. Taste of malt, barley, cake, biscuits, straw and hops. Mild bitter and thin finish. Not very nice.

Clear amber pour with a medium off-white head. Malty and grainy aroma with some light hops.

Leicht hopfig, etwas röstmalzig, kann man erstaunlich gut trinken, könnte aber doch etwas Intensiver sein (z.B. der Röstmalz) auch schmeckt man ein bisschen das es ein Billigbier ist. Test vom 24.4.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,8,9,8,10,9 - 8,65

Weich malziger, für ein Alt vollmundiger Antrunk. Dieser verspricht allerdings zu viel, das Bier baut zum Mittelteil an Malz breits ab und wird etwas säuerlich. Dennoch ist immernoch genügend Malz vorhanden, um das Aroma vollmundig wirken zu lassen. Wenig bis gar nicht herb, wenig bitter zum Ende, wo das Malz aber weiter einen hohen Stellenwert einnimmt. Hier kommt eine hopfige Note hindurch, die natürlich und frisch wirkt. Ungewöhnlich aber gut, nur der Nachgeschmack verschwindet zu schnell. Danke an den Doppelbock für das Bier! 12/10/11/11/5/11

Bottled, thanks Bov! Copper colour, average head. Roasty butter aroma. Sweet and mellow with offputting burnt vegetable flavour and plenty of butyric acid. Oddly funky and really awful.
