Nice embossed and shapely bottle. Aroma not much of anything, but at least it is a good lookong beer. Flavour and mouth are average at best. Finishes the same way. The Michelob of Germany?

.5l bottle. All I got in the aroma was copper. It literally smelt like a penny. Nice amber color with a big head. No lacing. Sweet taste of malt and a metallic finish.

Clear copper colour thin white head no retention. Aroma is sweet and malty, slightly hopy. The flavour is sweet and maltyy, with a bitter hopy fresh flavour. Very smooth, good carbonation.

Clear dark gold body with red hints when held to the light, a quarter inch white cap that reduced to a skiff after a min. Extremely mild aroma apple, cinnamon?!?!? that seems out of place some hops and chocolate, all these aromas seem wrong but to me but they seem to work for the beer to bad its just so weak. Very drinkable brew starts slightly metallic but finishes mildly bitter, chocolate, crisp hops, dark tasting malts. This is very simple but crisp and refreshing I got to say I really enjoy this. I got nothing bad to say this was exactly what I was in the mode for.

Bottle. A lovely amber colour with a rich creamy head. Some roasted malt and fruity taste. Clean dry finish. Fruits and roasty flavours in the aftertaste. Thin body.

Smells smiply of malt. A lovely goleden red. Pours with some carbonation but no lasting head. The taste is similary malty as the aroma is but is quite smooth and lasting, with a nice hop finsish that is perfectly balance with the flavour so as not to seem to much or too little on the palate. The malt flavour begins to dominate but the balance of flavour makes this beer.

A light reddish brown Alt with an almost white head - looks nice in the high-stemmed glass. Herbal, buttery nose with a faint sweetness coming through. Slightly sour butterscotch flavour with a crisp carbonation and a good bitterness. A dry, dusty finish with some twangy metallic notes that keep annoying me. Too sharp and metallic, but still worth a try.

(bottle) pours a clear bronze colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of herbal hops and pale malts over a backdrop of spices, caramel and notes of pear. flavour is the same, less subtle with a bigger herbal presence and some walnuts. medium body and carbonation with a semi-dry finish.
