Bottled. Clear golden, effervescent pour with a diminishing white head. Smells of spice and a little veggie malt. Crisp with a rich, funky malt. Touch of bread, too. Soft. A little more spicy/floral than I’d like a Helles, but refreshing nonetheless.

Medium white head. Yellow body with small particles. Sweetish aroma of peas and grass plus malts and apple. Sweetish taste of peas, grass, malts, and apple. Dry grassy straw aftertaste with hoppy notes. Clean, fresh mouthfeel. Very nice. (0.33l bottle from the brewery outlet, Leipzig. BBD April ’08.)

bottled. apparently a bit of a cult beer in leipzig but it’s hard to see why. aroma of canned corn kernels. tastes like sweet popcorn with a hallertau finish. quite fizzy and a bit metallic

Draught. Golden colour, small white head. The flavour is earthy with a vinous touch. I sort of like the earthiness.

(bottle, traded with EithCubes) Clear, golden colour with a fluffy white foam, slowly lacing. Slightly sweet malty nose with cooked carrots and a metallic hoppy note. Medium-sweet flavour, light body, smooth carbonation. Soft malty taste with a touch of vegetables, slightly sticky, malty, light-bitter and shy hoppy finish with a tinge of metal.

Bottle, thanks EithCubes. Spicy strawlike malt and light aromatic hop aroma. Pale golden, low carbonation, low head. Metallic bittering hops dominate, leave a rustlike catty trace into the aftertaste. Light hayish maltyness. Thin body, mellow mouthfeel.

Bottle (many thanks to EithCubes !): Golden coloured, quite firm white head; quite fruity and a bit bready nose with a faint metallic touch; shy sweetish taste, quite light bodied; delicate bitter-sweet finish. Refreshing and mild.....

Good volume, well rounded. Feels good on it’s way down, feels very good afterwards.
