I can only describe this beer as "Interesting" in every way, smell, taste, but aren’t all European beers funky?

Draught. Golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma of hops and a bit bitter. Carbonation high. bitter palate.

On tap at St. Georg hotel. Sweet honey aroma, heavy biscuits in the flavor.

Pilsener like brew from Aying. Bit more sweet than the usual pilseners.

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of joss. Pale appearance. Malty aroma which is reminiscent of sugar puffs, grain, breakfast cereal, butter, hay and maple syrup- rather malt accentuated. Flavor and palate: Malty. Low bittterness. Clearly very drinkable. Malty finish. Overall impression: Not my kind of beer. Thanks a lot joss!

Bottled (from beerangel.de). Pale golden colour, small white head. Aroma is cooked vegetables, grains, grass and some mild herbal notes. Flavour is malty, mildly toffeeish, some herbal notes as well as mild grass. Aftertaste gets very caramelly malty. Pleasant brew.

Pale yellow, thick white diminishing head. Malty, herbal nose. Malty flavour as well with hints of hay. Quite refreshing. short aftertaste.

500 ml bottle. As Lager Hell. From Germany. Clear golden colour with white medium-size head. Aroma is grassy, vegetables and some sweetness. Grassy malty flavour with some hoppy bitterness. Flawless Lager but nothing mind blowing.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Very thin aroma, but delicate. Week flavor aswell. OK palate.

Very drinkable... but although I’ve never had it before, I felt like I’d tried it 100 times. Nothing too special, but it would be a good session beer. Light and smooth.
