Poured aggressivly and got a thin beige head with a clear oak colored body. No lacing. Not a strong aroma but I do have some caramel, citrus, and earthy. Taste is of lemon, nuts, and medium malt. Zesty carbonated mouthfeel that lessens when the beer is warmer. Kind of thin on the palate. Not a bad brew.

Comes in a posh looking 0.75 litre cork and caged bottle. Mid amber clear body with a slight head of white covering each of the three glasses it was poured into. The nose although not strong had a multitude of aromas: citrusy hops, nuts, dried fruits and some caramel for good measure. Thin and fizzy really: tastes cover lemon and grapefruit tempered with a malty undertone of caramel. Strange and almost interesting: but not something I’ll actively search for again.

Bottle 75cl. Pours a clear yellow, slightly amber colour with a good size head and little carbonation. Aroma is fresh, like a good pilsener, however also some fruits there. Taste is a nicely balanced sweet and bitter flavour with notes of nuts there.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and even of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a clear amber and a very sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a light caramel touch . This beer smells malty.

Thanks Roman! Reddish amber with white head than falls to skim. Smells of muted malt and wet cardboard a bit of fruit. Tastes the same as it smells with a dry finish. For 2.40€ for a 750ml I guess it’s OK but not worth seeking out for it’s flavor.

Leicht herber, karamellig malziger Antrunk. Laff, wässrig, ziemlich langweilig. Hintergründig weiterhin karamellig, in Ordnung. 8/6/8/7/7/7

Bottled (thanks Koelschtrinker): Aroma with acid, metal, hints of fruits, metalic hops. Amber/brown color, massive beige head. Flavor is grainy, malt, metalic and grassy bitterness. Thin for that alcohol content and without interesting components.

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, fruit, caramel and nuts.
