Bottled. Pale golden colour. Big bubbly head. Flowery, slightly malty, sweet aroma. First a malty sweet taste and then a dry hoppiness with that drying effect on the tongue. Quite a drinkable brew.

0.5 litre brown flip-top bottle, obtained in Berlin and brought home to review at leasure. Best before 2nd April 09, drank Jan 09. Poured into a UK pint sleeve glass. I was expecting a cloudy Landbier, what sat before me was a Helles or Pilsner in looks. Golden, bright, clear and bubbley with a good white head on top. The large head which greated me tried to stay, but a wispy covering and collar were all that was left at the end. Gets my normal average lager score for smell, there isn’t any as usual for this style. Dry and fairly ordinary. If I had known it was this bland it wouldn’t have been flown back with me. Typical helles with all the normal character you know about. Nothing wrong with the beer, I just feel cheated, my German is obviously not as good as i thought! Pleasant enough for a lager based beer, some body and flavours to almost chew on.

Clear golden with large off white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of caramel. Flavour is somewhat sweet with cardboard notes. Finished sweet.

Bottle, 4.8%. Weak bready aroma. Bready flavour. Almost clear golden colour. Very small white head. OK maltiness, but otherwise a bit boring.
