pours clear light yellow with a small white head, little retention. sugary malts, hint of corn - sweetness though, vanilla and woody-spicy notes, wet grass, booze, grape juice. soft carbonation, light to medium body - very oily, quite nice grassy-spicy finish. on style, but not quite my style either. still.. well executed.

Bottle at Beer O’clock II, Bucharest, Romania. Clear golden with white ring. Sweet, sugary aroma. Old, so there’s just a little grass. Bitter, alcoholic taste - way too alcoholic, more than anything else. Light body, syrupy texture. Disgusting.

500ml bottle from some grocery store in Munich. Pours a crystal clear, pale yellow colored body with an inch thick, dense, frothy and foamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is lightly sweetened, a bit grainy, somewhat sulfury, and a touch fruity with some apple and melon. Flavor is nice. Lightly sweetened malts with a touch of honey, a nice hop balance throughout giving off just a light spiciness, and a bit of an apple and melon note. Finishes dry and clean with a light bitterness, light sweetness, and nice malt character. Lengthy aftertaste with a bit of an alcohol heat following a medium-light, smooth body and a somewhat lively, moderate carbonation. Overall, a really solid heller bock. Nice malt character and light sweetness with a balanced bitterness and spiciness. Very easy drinking for the size. Good beer.

Draught at Altes Brauhaus, Koblenz, Germany. Poured a clear golden colour with a one-to two-finger foamy light beige coloured head that diminishedquicly and laced poorly. Moderate carbonation with small bubbles forming trails. Aroma of sweet malt. Taste of sweetish malt followed by a slight bitterness. Light body. Short slightly sweet finish. Mostly sweet. OK.

Gold, clear, no head at all - looks like cider; aroma of sweet fruit and malt; big sweet flavour, like a bag of barley sugars - lemon, lime, orange all present; honey there too; like barley sugars, you have one then another and all of a sudden the whole bag’s been eaten and you feel slightly sick and you’re not quite sure whether you’ve enjoyed them or not. Excuse me whilst I book a trip to the dentist.

Bottle. Pours clear light golden with airy but stable white head. Clear aroma of hops with subtle malty and spicy notes. Sweetish, malty flavour enriched by hoppy bitterness and a spicy finish. A nice one.

Une robe dorée claire. Le collet blanc disparaît rapidement. Arôme de maïs et de miel. Goût semblable. Modérément sucrée. Buvable, mais pas une grande bière...
