Bottle #27148: Golden to deep golden, slowly vanishing medium-sized white head; moderate sweet pale-malty and toasty/nutty nose with a delicate, but distinctive aromatic-hoppy backbone; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; hops, pale and toasted malt in the slightly lingering sweet-bitter finish. A pure pleasure.......

(bottle) Slightly unclear, golden to light amber colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Sweet malty aroma with fruity notes of pears and shy herbal hops in the background. Moderately sweet flavour, almost medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Slightly strawy malty base with a tinge of cara-malt and again subtle pear-fruity flavours; medium-dry, sweet malty and shy bitter finish with subtle notes of pears in the aftertaste. Clean and easy-going; might be a good session beer but I have expected a more hops-accented brew as this brewery normally produces solely one Pilsner-style beer. 02.XI.09
