draft at Brauerei Eichhorn in Forchheim. clear medium-light glowing gold body with a huge and rocky ice cream fluff head. clean and sweet toasted grain and corn kernel pale malt / corn syrup / sugar character with stoic mineral rigidity in body. subtle but noticeable diacetyl notes float around acceptable levels for Czech lager, and it works well here with the lightly spiced and fruity German hops and sweet, straight-forward pale malt presentation. well-made for sure, with a crisp and clean profile from lagering, smacking and cracker-y and sweet. easily drinkable.

Bottle (from Vogel’s Forchheim): Golden coloured, slightly hazy, thin stable foamy layer; faint sweet-malty aroma combined with a big herbal to floral hoppiness (almost brithish ;-)); robust bitter-sweet flavour, soft carbonation; crisp, sweet and floral-bitter finish. A perfect, moreish, aromatic thirst-quencher !

Draught @ Brewery in Forchheim. Clear yellow / golden color with a average fizzy good lacing mostly lasting white head. Aroma is moderate malty, butter. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very nice .. ;o))

Bottle by 11.12. Mild citrusy pale malt nose, swirling light orange-golden with a white head. Taste constrains the sweetness, a little more tang, probably, and a nice crackery bitterness underlies all. Citrus and some biscuit, there’s some startling complexity here. Medium body, super juicy.

(On tap) Clear, pilsener golden with a creamy, white head leaving laces. Floral, hoppy nose. Medium-bodied with sweet malt accents and then again lots of floral - almost perfumy - notes. Not sticky in any way though. A lightly hoppy finish. Very delicate. 121106
