| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 24, 2005 Updated: Mar 2, 2005Amber pour with a small creamy white head which quickly recedes. Light malty aroma. Flavor is malty and lightly hopped for a bitter finish. A little of that nasty lager flavor which I despise comes through. Pretty good but I prefer the Paulaner. Had this after a Spaten Optimator and it wasnt up to the comparison. I got a sixer so I’ll try it on its own and rerate. (3.3)..... 2/25/2005......Rerate.... yes it was better the second time when it wasn’t in competition with an Optimator. Didn’t get any nasty lager flavor this time, much to my satisfaction. Enjoyable. bumped the rating up a bit. (3.6) ..... 2/28/2005...The more of these I have, the better I like them..I really like that buttery character. bump it up a bit more..

Aroma of sweet malt.
Flavor is sweet and malty but has a metalic taste that lays on the palate.
Almost a little to sweet for me, not to bad though. robharing (82), Ormond Beach, Florida, USA
