3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20A really unique beer. Subtle clean Helles with a lovely gentle waft of smoked goodness - a nice touch. Very drinkable UCSC Tasting June 12
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Half-liter bottle poured into a snifter. Gift from my Irish principal who last lived in Germany (go figure). Pours a bold, clear gold hue with a thin, quickly vanishing white head. Nose of pear and white wine. This is a surprisingly bold, woody, almost meaty flavor with a crisp, spicy bite. The only hop remnants is from the tingly sensation at the end of each sip. This is a new taste for me, but I actually like it for a change.

50 cl bottle at home. Golden liquid with a small white head. The aroma has smoked plums and tar sauna. The flavor is sweet and lovely smoked - giving it hints of tar sauna, combined with strong notes of wood. Specially good lager type brew for summer.
