Hellwürziger Antrunk mit Gerstentönen. Hell bleibend, der Hopfen ist das stärkste Aroma in insgesamt milden Bier. Dabei beinhaltet der Hopfen die zu Beginn genannten Aromen und bietet darüber hinaus angenehme Grasnoten. Leider sind diese ziemlich mild, besonders für ein selbsternanntes Winterbier ist das eher unpassend. Erst zum Ende wird es dann intensiver, vor allem der Hopfen legt zu indem die Grasnote harzig wird, ausgleichend zur zugegeben nicht sehr starken Herbe kommt untertönig eine leichte Süße hinzu. Ein nettes und ausgeglichenes Bier, das eins garantiert nicht ist: Ein Winterbier. 9/10/9/9/11/9

Bottle… February in Franconia (2011)… Clear light amber ale with a small, tight, white head. It’s hard for me to pull much from the nose, but finally I pick up subtle toasty and nutty notes. Medium-bodied with laid-back carbonation. The flavor actually leans a touch toward the bitter side of balance. Minerally, watery and bland, but very clean – even when well above proper lager drinking temperature. Short, crisp, clean finish. Not really much of a Marzen in my book, but a refreshing warm weather beer nonetheless. Thanks go out to erlangernick and Koelschtrinker for making this month of Franconian lagers possible!

oro buona non molta schiuma e non molto persitente naso maltato leggermente caramellato un tocco erbaceo in bocca buon malto ma non stucchevole

Bottle. Deep golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is grain, fruit. Flavour is caramel, malt, alcohol, hop, grain, fruit. Medium body. Ordinary beer.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer topped by a finger-thick white head. Grainy nose with a fruityness, quite weak. Sweet on the palate, full body. Fruityness and some fruity bitterness in the mouth. Sweet finish with a bitterness trying to balance it, but not making it. Definately not my idea of a Christmas beer. 100513

Bottle 500ml.
Clear medium orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toasted, keller, metalic, damp stained, earthy, light soap. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light metalic. [20091219]

Bottle: Light amber coloured, lively carbonation, small off-white layer; sweet-malty, but mainly metallic aroma with the faintest traces of toasted malt; moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; drier malty finish with a touch of vegetables and some hoppy rays in the aftertaste. Not the greastest pleasure, unfortunately typical for a Grasser brew..........
