Thanks to Quack-Duck for this bottle. Looks simple, but good. Beer in the glass is okay, zippy, small head. Starts malty and spicy, but then also very, very sourish, soapy and metallically. Near to undrinkable. Hard to empty this glass!

A clear yellow beer with medium head. Smell is on lager with nuts notes. A quite sweet beer with hopy presence, not too malty, grassy notes as well.

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a short foamy white head. Grainy malty aroma with shy notes of herbal hops. Sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Grainy and slightly biscuity malty taste with a shy herbal touch; sweet malt-accented finish with a discreet dosage of hops. Clean and flawless Lager, just a bit boring. 13.X.10

Bottle: Golden, some UFO’s visible, medium-sized fluffy white head; grainy and slight bisquity nose with some hoppy influences; light to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; slightly lingering hoppy and bisquity finish. Pleasant brew.....

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of Quack-Duck. Hazy pale golden with a decent white head. Surprisingly remarkably sour. Faint sulphury nose. Grainy. Complex cheeses are a great complement. Great drinkability. Dryish finish which makes you eager to take another sip. Big thanks Stefan!

bottle from Toom Aalen. Clear golden colour, large white head. Malty nose with a floral hoppy touch. Medium-bodied, solid malty base with a tiny touch of fruit (apple?), rounded by some floral hop flavours. Well balanced, well crafted beer.

Bottle. Sweet corn and barley malt aroma with hint of hops. Golden yellow color with moderate head. Initial a very sweet barley flavor that quickly turns to a bitter grassy hops. Sweetness and hoppiness somehow stay separate from each other - interesting.

Bottle, bought in a Getränkehalle in Aalen-Wasseralfingen. Some flowery hops in the aroma. Flowery hopbitter flavor. Malty, medium bodied. Well balanced and fairly well made.
