Bottle, with big thanks to Andy from BierMania. Don’t know the bottle’s age, but it tasted pretty fresh. Pours a reddish-amber, nice off-white head. Malty, lightly hoppy nose with cider touches. Great balance in flavor, with light, malty sweetness and moderate bitterness. Very refreshing result. Enjoyed it.

At the trinkgut kleve germany, morning pie colour, lasting small head. very expensive sample of murphy’s

On Tap. Looks and smells like an ordinary average altbier. No taste of "beechwood", typical high fermentation taste. Overall ok, but not woth its price.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a light nut brown beer with a slightly tanned average head. Lots of tiny bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. The nose is of lemon, lime and biscuits. Lemon and lime in the taste. The flavor reveals some surprises. Nicely woody with a herbal citrussy finish with an interesting hoppy earthy touch.

A very good beer. The bottle needs to get used to. The beer is very dark, copper-coloured, fine foam. Roast-malty taste, dry, but not to strong. Enduring finish. Well done, but a little bit too expensive.

Moderate malty and light bread. Small frothy, white head. Virtually none lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear red body. Moderate bitter initial flavor. Light to medium palate.

A Mes rate: 50cl bottle from Quinns
Rich dark golden colour with a decent white head. Very malty and sweet with some wheat, corn and cardboard notes. Typical run of the mill German stuff. No beechwood to detect. Blah.

Fad. Drak denne øl til en Bahama burger, hvilket den egentlig klarede overraskende godt. En smule duft og smag af stald, men primært er det maltbasen der træder frem.
