50cl bottle from afriend. Thick white head. Clear golden pour. Nice enough pils. Not hoppy at all.

Bottle. High fluffy white lasting head. Clear yellow golden body. Sweet honey aroma. Sweet mild malt honey flavor with little hops bitterness, low carbonation and a long sweet aftertaste.

Bottled. A rare find from the Altenmunster brews. Dark orange color, thick white head, hoppy nose. Arome is strong hops, spicy tones. Flavour is the same with longlasting bitter hops. Very nicely made archaic brew.

How is it that these guy scan make something so middle of the road, so lacking in so many respects and yet still have it come out inoffensive? Wouldn’t go out of my way at all to get this, but would absolutely drink it if it was brought to me.

Distinctly bland. Lacking any sort of character.

Very light tasting, but fairly non-descript. This beer is very balanced with a sweet after taste. Disclaimer: I received a ceramic growler of this for x-mas and had a hard time identifying which Brauer bier it contains but believe it was this one :).

not bad. started off a little rough. had a nice caramel color.

UPDATED: MAY 19, 2003 Here is one of those beers that doesn't inspire millions of adjectives but still deserves respect. It's a very pale, slightly cloudy yellow colour, with honey and cereal aromas. The flavour is very simple: pure fresh, grainy pale malt, with virtually no hop character except light bitterness at the very finish. Sure, it's a bland, watery lager, but it's a quality bland, watery lager. Definitely a Bavarian hell rather than a pils if categories are important to you. REr8: yeah yeah the malt is nice, but there's too much alcohol flavour (dunno how they do it at 4.9%) and a weird camembert rind aftertaste that is tasty and interesting in trois monts, where it also turns up, but sort of disgusting in a german lager.

Sulfury nose and a light gold color. Very quick profile that ends sweet. Not much bitter, rather a citrusy maltiness. Round on the lips. Thin but fresh for sure. Would go great with pub grub.

Yeast aroma, sweet. Colour light lemon. Flavour is hoppy, lemon. It is very light and makes an airy feeling in he mouth. Thanks Martin for the nice evening!
