bottle, bought at the brewery. Clear golden yellow, large white head. Lovely fragrant flowery hoppy nose. Solid malty base with lots of fragrant flowery hops. Medium-bodied and well-balanced. A delicious beer!

Bottle (by Quack-Duck!): Pale greenish-golden, a bit unclear, lacy and stable medium-sized white head; citrussy and "woody" (Tettnang?) hops in the nose, underpinned by some sweet pale malt; very soft, moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; Tettnang noble hops in the smooth bitter-sweet finish. Great semi-bohemian stuff.......

(bottle) Slightly hazy, pale golden colour with a big but collapsing frothy white head. Sweet and slightly grainy malty aroma with subtle fruity, herbal and shy woody hops. Light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a mildly carbonated mouthfeel. Soft pale malty, slightly grainy taste with a delicate but nevertheless aromatic hops-character; medium-dry, mildly bitter herbal and slightly woody hoppy finish. Balanced and pleasant Pilsener. 06.I.10

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of Quack-Duck. Clear pale golden with a decent white head. Some diacetyl in the nose. Buttery taste with candy sugar and hops showing up. Reminiscent of Degen Hell but with a better hop profile. Dry finish with lingering notes of dried apricot, candy and hops. Rather pleasant taste. Thanks a lot Quack-Duck!
