Pale lager? Are you kidding? It is a kellerbier. Copper color. Touches of malt, hops and cola in the aroma. Malty sweetish flavor with some caramel. Initial hopbitterness flows into peach and toffee flavors.

UPDATED: FEB 24, 2012 (bottle) pours a clear deep golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of honey and floral hops, with light notes of chewy pale malts, tangerines and dusty attics. flavour is mostly the same, very floral, with more prominent notes of barnyard, fresh wort, a light honeyed sweetness and a crisp light-bitter and malty finish. medium-bodied with lively carbonation. another excellent lager from this brewery.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass a bit darker than exspected, nice head. Starts mild but not washy, fine malty, modest spicy. Not very dry. Finish still mild, a bit drier. Quite drinkable. Nice!

Bottled 500ml (BZ, BB 02/2012)
Clear amber color, small white head. Grassy, harsh malty aroma. Light bodied. Grassy, a bit caramelly malty flavor. A bit harsh woodyness. Feels like a bit old although I don’t think it is. Just a beer not for my liking.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a huge white head. Aroma is sweet malty and slight herbal hoppy. Sweet malty, slight caramelish and mild citrusy hoppy. Bitter and sweet citrusy finish.

50cl bottle: Fairly solid aroma, citric and grassy hops, hints of esters - quite nice. Below average on the palate however, boring and unrefined maltiness with a soapy hoppy finish. Much better choices when it comes to the style.

Bottle 500ml. @ home.
