3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: NOV 26, 2007 500ml can. Small is pleasantly hoppy, though not too special. Appearance is dark golden colour, with decent head. Mild malty flavouring. Goes down smooth. I first had a warm can that was underwhelming, but thought I should have a cold one before judging. The cold one was fairly impressive. Might pick this up again, pretty good price for it I’d say.
I gave this an upgrade as it was much, much better in a bottle.
2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
500ml can
Pours a clear pale hay yellow with a bubbly white head. Nice looking lacing. Refreshing mouth feel. Smells grassy and quite hoppy. Flavour is surprisingly tame for the aroma. A little dissapointing. A little taste of melts, biscuit and yeast. Has a bare finish. Almost no bitterness in this one. Not that great I think.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Can. Pale yellow colour with a white head. Malty aroma with light grainy notes. Similar flavour with vegetable notes.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle poured into a pilsner glass. Pours a sparkling, clear gold with a loose, frothy, white head. The aroma has Trans-Atlantic Green Bottle Syndrome: Skunk. More skunk and the wet dog that’s been sprayed by the skunk. Once allowed to "air out", I detect muted notes of pilsner malt and faint grassy/earthy hops. I have to think that the aroma would be a lot more pronounced coming from a can. Light-bodied, without being thin, the mouthfeel features moderate carbonation and a clean, crisp conclusion. Sweet, lightly bready pilsner malt fronts a lightly grassy hop finish. Despite being light-struck, this is actually a pretty nice example of the style and a fairly tasty brew. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for this one in a can.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: APR 19, 2008 Cask at Zeitgeist @ The Jolly Gardener.
A typical german oils, clear, light, but flavour somewhat was lacking. Some yeast and metal left an uninspiring finish.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: SEP 24, 2007 20 oz draft Ludwig’s Beergarten-clear straw coloring, with a suttle aroma, and light malt flavoring. Really easy to drink, but on a warning goes down really quickly. Basically a German equivalent of Miller Lite that’s a little better tasting.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Canned sample at Glendale Golf Club in Winnipeg. Didn’t get to see it, couldn’t smell it ourt of the can. tasted all right, but it was freezing cold, so it is tough to say. Will have to try this from a glass next time
