H-P is probably the most consistently disappointing brewery. Their products look nice and I always anticipate a good beer, but I have yet to try a brew of their’s I would consider better than good. Dominated by yeast with fleeting fruitiness, this is another let-down.

omhper (17558) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - NOV 19, 2007
Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Copper colour, creamy head. Caramelly nose. Medium sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Cardboardy malt dominates. Mushy mouthfeel. Modernized, simplified and dumbed down - all the things that characterizes production cost cuttings. The most disappointing German oktoberfestbier ever.

Bottle. Burnt caramel bitter taste. Finsh is bitter. Whole thing is bitter.

jujubeast6000 (854) - Houston, Texas, USA - OCT 15, 2005
A moderate malty nut aroma, toasted and a little sour. Appearence is nice, golden brown with an average off-white head with quickly dimished almost completely, small bubbles. A slightly sweet, slightly bitter taste that has something I don’t like. Average palate, a little watery.

joet (1925) - Santa Rosa, California, USA - OCT 14, 2002
Overwhelmed by some bigger lager beers tasted a long with it. Lacking in depth, aroma and flavor. Dim.

Juelze (1126) - Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 10, 2005
Pours a light reddish color. Very nice lacing. Taste is roasted barley and carmel malts. A bit watery and thin in the finish.

RooftopRogue (423) - Champaign, Illinois, USA - JAN 2, 2006
This beer greets the nose with the smell of roasted yeast. It is a rust colored solution that resides under a thick head. This beer is thin and does not hide its carbonation. The taste of roasted malt and hops fades fast after swallowing.

BenH (1376) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - SEP 12, 2011
Lots of lager yeast notes on the aroma and taste. Not very interesting. Strong lager. Nice appearance, amber.

npdempse (933) - St. Petersburg, Florida, USA - SEP 9, 2001
Well, delbomber’s rhymse scheme might leave something to be desired, but I agree with his sentiment. An unpleasant sourness and weak malt flavor left me thinking more Heinekin than Rheinheitsgebot.

TaxiDriver (1401) - Stadland, GERMANY - APR 10, 2008
Bottle. Nice malty smell, sweet, light hoppy. Dark red clear body, foamy white head, which is fast diminishing. The flavor is moderate sweet (but a strange sweetness), the duration is only short. The body is light and dry with a soft carbonation. Not really a good one for my taste.
