Bottled. A golden beer with thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw and metal. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and a bit of metal, leading to

Botella. Clear yellow colour, short bubbly white ehad. Aroma of grass and some brewmash. Fair mouthfeel. The flavour is grassy with some brewmasha and a light bitterness. Crisp but rather simple.

Big coarseish white head does not last. Yellow body. Floral shampoo and vegetable aroma. Dryish floral straw and soap taste with grassy rubbery notes. Light, clean mouthfeel. Dryish floral grassy hop aftertaste. Light and drinkable, but definitely watered down. (0.5l bottle, shop, Charlottenberg.)

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is pale golden. Aroma and taste are malt and hops. Crisp clean taste.

500 ml bottle. Golden colour. Crystal claear. Very tall white coarse head that clings to the glass. Delicate papery noble hop aroma with some metallic notes. Grassy. Crisp maltiness. Light-bodied, but still with quite a bit of malt flavour. Light lingering floral hop bitterness through to the finish. Very nice.

Sweet grain, like a boquet of flowers past its prime, the pollen falling from the peatls making the dusty hoppiness. Austrian brewers are rearely daring, and when they water down the beer for the Swedish market they do certainly not improve.

straw-blonde colour ... not very firm head (the foam is a bit ’soapy’) .... taste is a bit soury .... the problem with Austrian beers will be similar to the problem with Swiss beers I guess: the water is too hard ... this usually gives a light bodied beer with a soury note ... ok as a thirst quencher in summer, but not a beer to enjoy

Bottle. Pale golden, thin head.Malty aroma, sweet:ish taste of corn and malts. Decent body. Some hop bitterness in the finish. Decent 3.5.
