Starts sweetish and fruity, with notes of honey and just the right amount of slight sourness to balance the sweetness. Mild carbonation. Light bitterness, peppery hops. Finish is a bit weak and again more sweet than bitter. Could do well with some more hops.

Prägnant hopfig-bitterer Antrunk mit getreidig-wässrigem Ton. Der Hopfen kann sich im Verlauf durchsetzen, die vollmundige Bitterkeit zieht mit. Vollmundig, getreidig, grasig und gehaltvoll. Passt! 12/10/11/11//11

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2009 Draught at the brewpub, 5.0% according to the bottles. Served in a ceramic mug. Tan head, looks big and creamy. The beer looks hazily amber in the mug, perhaps dark golden. The flavour is good and malty with some nice white bread. Good bready aftertaste along with some vinousness or perhaps is it the alcohol. OK bitterness in the finish. Good, mild carbonation. 6 3 6 3 15

Tap, at the Brewpub. Jan 2005. Gold, moderate white head and low condition. Low sweet yeast and fruity malt aromas, sweet and fruity in the mouth with a gentle citric tang and noticable hop character that becomes assertively bitter into the finish. Confusingly, the brewery is called Eichhorn but the bar itself is called Brauerei Schwarzer Adler.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized white fluffy head. Aroma is herbs, bready malts, some earthcellary notes as well as mild caramelly notes. Flavour is herbal,, sweet malty as well as some wooden and very mild grainyness. Pleasant grassy semi-bitter finish.
