2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap. Poured a clear gold with a thin white head that dissipated quickly. Aroma was thin with a bit of grass and hay. Flavor was equally bland with some grass and hay coming through but not much here.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
A malty finishing brew that’s a little dry, but also has a sligt metallic tang that spoils the balance. Passable.

2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Situation: Unwinding after a furious grading session...
Glassware: Jever pokal...
Appearance: champagne-like effervescence with a yellow that favors gold in its complexion; a frothy, bubbly single-finger head sits comfortably...etching in the lacing is random but welcome...
Aroma: cereal and bread overpower the sense, with a bit of banana as well...
Palate: medium-bodied, alive at the throat but passive on its way there...although a bit of a bubble at the teeth and an aftertaste...palatable but forgettable too...
Taste: As expected, the doughy lagerishness is front and center in the profile; a bit bitter, but smooth and straightforward in its taste...
Overall: green bottles often foreshadow their contents’ taste, and DAB is little different. I bought the case because I could not recall the last taste I had of it; after drinking the whole case myself, I can put that curiosity behind me, admit that the import was basicand serviceable, but not "the beer of world fame" the bottle boasts...
