500 ml bottle. Picked up at Maruhn in Darmstadt, Germany. Pours a clear, amber color with white big white head. Softly carbonated. Malty taste, typical franconian malt taste, quite few hops, easy to drink, nice beer.

Die Schaumkrone hält mittelmäßig, farblich kräftig. Dieses Bier wird Geschmacklich von Malz und Hopfen geprägt welches ausserdem leichte bitterheit andeutet. Fazit: Ordentlich! Test vom 12.4.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,11,11,10,12,11 - 10,80

Bottle. Medium copper with a thin head. Aroma of malt and a tinge of hay hop. Flavour is gentle malt, light metallic with a thin hop finish

bottled. basic amber colour with a reasonable head; aroma of dry grass and toffee apple; pleasantly crisp with some fruity tangy bitterness although perhaps a little more metallic than other examples of the style. still, it is such a good style...

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Schöne gelblich-rote Farbe mit kleiner Krone. Der Antrunk geht stark ins Malzige, mit einem leicht süßlichen Beigeschmack. Zum Mittelteil setzt sich der Hopfen etwas mehr durch. Im Nachgeschmack bleibts aber weiterhin süßmalzig. Schön ausgewogen.

Pours light amber dark, orange hazy, clear. Aromas cardboard, malts, hay. Medium carbonation texture thin flat watery. Middle taste malty wit weak hoppiness. Aftertaste mild no bitterness hops. All in all, dull and flat with metallic paper finish.

Café Abseits, Bamberg. lightly hazed medium dark gold, patchy off-white head. a bit watery and bit thin. apple juice and lightly pungent noble hops in the nose. light grassiness complimenting the honey and toast malt. drinkable but nothing exciting.

Half litre bottle. Bronze colour, clear, fair bit of foam. Not too much of an aroma. Bittersweet corky taste. Fairly light tasting Keller/zwickel. Has some characteristics of a helles. Decent but not world class.
