From tap at Gambrinus @ Oranienburg/Linienstr, Berlin rating #100. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is cornish and distinct grassy hoppy. Crisp bitter, grassy and light cornish flavoured. Bitter and crisp grassy to dry bitter finish.

Deaught. Straw colour with a fluffy head. Aroma is sweet bread. Flavour is fruity with a clean hop base. Palate is dry an light bitter

Draught im Schwarzen Cafe. Light yellow-golden body with a lacy, creamy white head. Sweet, malty nose very faintly floral. Taste is slightly drier, not all that bitter, moving to accept South German dogma. Medium soft body and, sheesh, like every Pils I’ve had this week.

This beer is really good and I only know one place to get it, at the Gambrinus Restaurant in Berlin. I would like to get it in bottles but I don’t think they do that. Anyway, it’s delicious. Slightly bitter but crisp and refreshing. Better off getting a smaller glass rather than a large one as it kinda falls off with time and heat. I also think it may have been unfiltered (naturtrüb) but maybe I’m confusing this with something else.

on tap in berlin. pale golden with a slim white head. pleasant vanilla malt character, which reminded me of a dortmunder. mild bitterness but somehow very drinkable

maybe it was just the berlin slang getting to me or sickness but there was a slightly snotty start followed by typical crispness. may have been more intersting before schultheiss took it over.

On tap in Berlin, actoss the street from the Südstern. The 7 minute rule is still the king here. Grain, malt, hops giving a round taste of roses and grapefruity bitterness in the finish. Lovely.

Draught. Golden colour. Stable white head. Quite tasteless, not very bitter.
