Bottle, 5.1%. Pale yellow colour, small white head. Tiny floaties. The aroma is slightly citric.Flavour is also citric with a hint of malt and dust. Low bitterness. Mild and refreshing, but not too flavourful.

Frischer, mild herb-süßer Beginn. Süffig bleibend, die Aromen ändern sich nicht großartig, früh kommt eine milde Hopfennote auf, die bis zum Ende bleibt. Ein sehr einfaches Bier für heiße Sommertage. 11/8/12/8/11/8

Cloudy amber with a medium white head. Sweet spicy aroma from the hops along with malty notes. Flavour was malty with hoppy and caramel notes. Finished dry and bitter.

On tap. Hazy pale yellow beer with a dense white head, reducing but leaving a good amount of lace. Nothing on the nose. Sweet malts and dusty\yeasty grains allround, a sweet note of honey and soft grassy bitter finish. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Not impressive.

500ml bottle. Picked up in Karlsruhe, Germany. Pours a slightly hazy gold color with a soft fast to go white head. Aroma is malt, spices and light sweet fruit. Taste is a bit diapointing fo style, sour mash, some sweet fruit and spices. Palate is bubbley and lasting flavorwhich needs help. ok

En tirador.Dorada muy pálida,buena espuma con buen encaje,cereal,cítricos,levadura,especies. Muy refrescante y correcta como aperitivo.

50cl. bottle from a local beer retailer. It pours a hazy pale golden-yellow liquid with a medium diminishing but lasting white head that leaves little lacing. The aroma is subtle and fresh, with some mild wheaty notes along with straw, grainy malt, some citron (mild orange), spices and yeast. As it evolves, straw and grains gain some strength. It tastes likewise, being low sour, sweet and bitter. In the mouth it feels mild but lively carbonated, oily, pleasant, with a medium body and a dry finish, with an aftertaste of citrusy hops, wheat and a little straw. Presentaiton is average (very nice crown cap, though) for a refreshing and quite nice keller. On tap is creamier and a bit more flavoured.

Draught in Walldorf
Cloudy blond color, served in a kölsch glass with an unattractive Rolling Stones red mouth sticker. Light malt aroma and flavor, lightly spicy (coriander); this one has a metallic finish less strong than others from Hoepfner. Drinkable.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass quite light, nice head. Starts mild, modest moldy-sourish, more and more dry. Finish with some fruity lemon notes. Not my favourite.

Bottle 50cl. A clear golden beer with medium head. Aroma is sweet and malty, nice bitterness but low hops flavor, an usual landbier, in the average.

Blonde cloudy. Honey, cereal taste, spicy and bitter end. Very tasty. Fresh sensation. Recipe of character. Bionda torbida. Miele, gusto di cereali, finale amaro e speziato. Molto gustosa. Fresca. Ricetta di carattere.
