Cloudy golden color with a nice white head that keeps a lacing until the end. Aroma is quite sweet, hints od herbal grassy hops. Flavos is like the aroma, sweet and bitter. Mouthfeel is a balanced dry sweet.

bottle, best by December 2012.
hazy pale gold body with a medium-sized fine white head. first whiff right off the pour is surprisingly bacteria-like and strongly phenolic - it honestly smells like some brett a pedio, though it breathes out after a few minutes and the smell is much more typical of a kellerbier or zwickel: acidic and pungent dried citrus hops, grass / hay / barnyard mustiness, etc. tingly, zesty acid on the tongue with some graininess and sharpness throughout. this bottle seems a bit faded but the grain husk character certainly seems intentional, and out of place for sure. light body with noticeable syrupiness and a slick, oily finish.

Hazy golden body with a small white head. Grassy and malty aroma. Sweet malty finish

(bottle) pours a very hazy yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of caramel, banana and pale malts, with notes of hay and earth. flavour is mostly pale malts and yeast, with a hint of grass and a slightly minerally finish. medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation.

(50 cl bottle) Golden-yellow colour, hazy, quickly disappearing white head. Aroma of hay, yeast, dusty grains, slight herbal and bubblegum notes, fruity and spicy aftertaste. Light bitterness, light sweetness. soft carbonation. A very good example of that style.

bottle from landbierparadies. poured very pale hay colour with a slim head; aroma of half-cooked porridge; greek yoghurt, lime zest; pleasantly grainy, just needed double the hops - it would have been an excellent beer with a fruitier, more bitter finish
