I'm a little confused if this is the beer I had - but I think so. A hazy yellow beer with a fine head. The aroma is of honey, lemon, and malt. The flavor is of honey, malt, hay, and grass with a sligthtly bitter end.

Golden coloured. Neutral nose. Malty, but boring and sweetish. One dimensional.

Pale colour. Sweet aroma, honeyish. Malt taste, enough strong for such a simple beer. Palate enough bitter and aromatic, also enough long.

Nice beer with yeasty aroma, average apperance and powerfull flavour, regarding its a pale lager.

Bottled: Golden coloured. White head. Sweet and malty charachters in the nose. Flavour is very sweetish and boring. Is drinkable when cold, but when it warms up it gets a little cloying.

Pours a hazy, dirty straw color with a respectable enough head. The aroma is a light fresh bread, a grassy/floral bitterness, and, oddly enough, a touch of chocolate. The flavor’s a dull, sweet malt with a touch of fruit and little of any hopping. Drinkable enough, but this one was enough for me.

Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy light yellow, dense tiny and small particles. Aroma is lightly malty (light bread), lightly hoppy (flowers). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Very pale. Very light and thin. It is bland and lacks character. The great Germans can do much better than this.

Straw color with a taller popcorn colored head. Light grainy and slightly herbal (light thyme and rosemary) aroma. Light malt sweetness followed by a dry herbal/sage finish. Bland and not very clean tasting.
