UPDATED: APR 13, 2008 An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is alcohol with notes of peach as well as hints of metal and honey. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol and fruit, especially peach coming thru. To simple to hide the alcohol.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of MoritzF. Clear, deep golden with an off-white head. Sweetish and distinctly malty aroma. Medium body and again intense malt flavours, some overripe fruit notes - almost a bit sherry-like. A fairly hoppy finish with some alcohol. Nice one. 180907

33 cL bottle. Pours golden yellow with a lacing white head. Slight sweet aroma with a bit of dryness. Slight bread malty flavour, clear sweetness. End with a bit of bitterness and warming alcohol feel. Nice.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2008 Bottled. Clear golden, brief head. Butter malty nose. Sweet and rounded with solid, well organized maltiness. Flavour of grain and butter, covered in thick layers of grass. Slight salty bitterness. Well made!

Bottle, 6.9%. Refreshing aroma, rough hoppiness. Clear dark golden colour. Small semi-stable white head. The flavour has a distinct caramelly maltiness, but is not too sweet. Medium bitterness, very clean. Good alcohol flavour in the finish and a nice mouthfeel.

Blond color. It’s just a stronger and sweeter version of a Pale Lager, with some honey/cereals touch (aroma and flavor). Not bad, but simple.

It is golden with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt and vegetables. The flavour has sweetness and notes of malt, flower, light citrus and the finish is dry.

(33cl swing top bottle) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized foamy white head. Light-sweet, strawy malty and a bit perfumed nose with light notes of honey and a very faint herbal, slightly grassy hoppy touch. Light-sweet flavour, quite slim bodied for a brew of 6.9% abv, lively carbonated mouthfeel. Flat pale malt-character, slightly strawy and quite one-dimensional; moderately dry, slightly bitter and slim finish. Bland pale Bock.

Bügelverschlußflasche: Golden coloured, small, lacing white head; sweet-malty, kind of artificial and perfumed nose with a touch of alcohol; faint sweetish flavour, very light bodied for a beer of 6.9% ABV, sticky MF; alcoholic, sweet-bitter finish with a touch of vegetables. A horrible Bock...
