200ml on tap at the brewpub. Crispy, white head, reduced to a thin layer. Hazy, orange-yellow in body colour. Fresh fruity smell of lemony grass. Modest flavour of late fruits, fruit-filled malts and sweet hops. On the sweet side of bittersweet. Slightly yeasty ending. Foamy in the mouth. Medium bodied. Just alright with satisfying refreshment (Stuttgart, 25.02.2009).

Beer in the glass zippy, small head, not very turbid. Starts dry, quite hoppy, a bit sourish with fruity lemon notes.

Tap at brewpub. Pours cloudy yellow with a medium, fizzy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is light lemon/citrus, grain and meal malt, and a clean lager character. Flavor is malty with light hops, medium bitterness, citrus and a dry finish. Light body, low warmth and medium carbonation.

Frisch hopfiger und natürlich wirkender Antrunk, getreidig, im Mittelteil etwas fruchtig. Die Getreidigkeit steigt hier schnell, lecker, angenehm und harmonisch. Passend malzmuffig (leicht), hopfig und feinherb. Etwas würzig. Lecker! Test vom 17.3.2008, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 11,12,11,11,-,12 - 11,57

Part of the Stuttgart Raid. Well another bad beer here. My last I could not bring myself to try another one from here and waited outside for the others after having some words with the waitress about what was in the beer. I refuse to be nit like Krug and Thule were about it. This fizzy soda water with some alcohol I swear had a green tint to it. Smelled like one of the green German sodas. Not good at all.

Part of the Great Stuttgarter Beer Raid 2011 (the worst place award). On tap at the brewpub. Pours a fizzy light yellow green color with a fast to go fizzy head. Aroma is sour mash and hops. Taste is some wierd honey dew. Palate is mellow but leaves you wondering what is was you just drank. I did not like this beer 25 years ago and I don’t think much has changed.

5l keg (One Pint Pub, Helsinki, German Weeks 2010)
4 Really not getting much aroma, maybe a little corn
3 Pale, slightly hazy, yellow, small head
6 Odd taste, a little plantmattery, but not in a bad way.
3 Soft palate, pleasant carbonation. Milky. Finish gently bitter and grassy, but with a touch of ginger.
11 Late finish a little peanuty, that’s a curious twist. An odd one, farmhousy and not a mainstream style, almost Baltic. Yes, there’s some diacetyl too, but an amount that doesn’t offend me.

(Poured from Partyfaß at One Pint Pub Augustfest ’10) Poured pale golden and lightly hazy. Head was medium sized and white. Aroma was really fruity and a little bit herbal. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, mildly sweetness, malts, herbalness and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter and herbal. The hopping of this beer was really pleasant.

Cloudy almost orange gold with nice head. Malty mild grassy aroma of fruit and caramel. Flavour is sweet with some bitterness towards the end.
