Draught in Berlin.Clear golden colour with large white head.Aroma is crispy of spices and hops,mild citrus note and fresh hoppy finish.

Poured a medium-sized white head into a clear gold colour. Aroma gave off malt and also some spices or fruit (I couldn’t decide which). Taste was a bit of malt, and finished crisp and smooth.

Bottle. This is a bubbly transparent golden colour with a white, quarter inch head. The aroma is very grassy with some dandelion, bread and butter. Mouthfeel is light. There is more grass in the flavour, with some grain, lemon. Finish is short.

Poured a large white foamy head with some blobby lacing and rim retention only. Ample ammount of carbonation. Light yellow gold. Lots of microscopic floaties. Smell is quite good. Nice aroma! Lots of mild and warm breadlike malts, slight nuttiness and citrus (ciderish), a smooth wiff of grass and wheat and a hint of alcohol. Smellings switch between malty and grassy. Tastes better a bit colder. Dry. Malts. Some sweetness that seems seperated from the bready malts. Grass shows up at the end of the swig. Mouthfeel is average with the beer being a little more than medium bodied (odd) - almost seems thick. I just found a flavour that’s flavourless...whatever the hell that means, but it’s there...or not..? More substance than anything I guess. Very weak bitterness and lenghty finish that is somewhat sour, but not in a bad way. More grassy and bitter at the bottom of the glass. It’s drinkable. Better flavour warmer, but more drinkable colder I’ve decided.

0.5 liter draft at the Donisl restaurant in Weinstrasse Munich, Germany. Very good.

Looks like a typical pale lager, light in colour and a small white head that dissipates into a small ring quickly. Aroma is typical euro lager, very grassy, some sweet honey and a little corn. Tastes... what the??? This actually tastes good! Subtle complexity, nice balance of sweetness and earthy grassy notes with a citrus finish. No corn or other adjuncts evident on palate. Finish is clean and refreshing. Not bad at all!

Bottle... Poured a pale golden/yellow with a white head. Sweet aroma of lemongrass, honey and malted grains. Really thirst quenching which was the best thing going for the brew. Otherwise your typical lager with a more premium, German touch to it. Citrus hops and full biscuit-like malt towards the finish.

Thirst-quenching and bland, just about as light in the ass as a lager can get. Soft and nutty with barely a perception of bitterness. Pale gold with tall and sturdy white head. Some residual sweetness, a touch corny.
