Bottled. Clear golden colour. Medium foamy head.Flowery and slightly hoppy aroma. At first it appears quite hoppy and flowery, tastewise. Also pretty mild. Finishes lightly dry. I found it too be quite balanced and pretty akin to the exports brewed in Dortmund. Enjoyable.

(bottle) Slightly hazy, golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head. Moderately sweet and slightly bready malty nose with a milky touch and delicate herbal hops in the background. Sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a quite light carbonation. Slightly sugary malty taste with bready elements and notes of biscuits; sweetish malty finish with a tinge of herbal hops lacking a balancing level of bitterness. 19.VIII.09

Bottle:Golden, bigger persistent fluffy head; sweet grainy-malty nose with a very faint bitterness in the background; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied, a bit oily; slightly increasing bitterness in the sweet grainy finish. A bit on the sweet side, but clean and tasty........

An orange beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with some notes of straw and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, grain, and straw, leading to a dry lightly bitter end.

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden with no real head. Absolutely full-bodied with a distinct malty sweetness. Distinct bitterness, but not strangling. So, despite the uncool design of the label, a decent "Export". 061203

Bottle from Dortmunder. Thanks! Golden color, malty aroma with a hint of butter. Almost sweetish, malty flavor with a touch of hops and some more butter. Not bad, but unexciting.

Bottle from Dortmunder - thanks a lot! Citric and herbal/grassy hop and sourdough malt aroma. Dark golden, low lacing head. Spicy bread base, wooden and honeyish - quite solid. Finishes on a dry herbal note which lingers on. Medium to light body.
