Tap at Pizza Port OB. This is a doppel? Clear light to medium amber with a small eggshell head, down to a tattered film pretty quickly. Aroma of sweet light malts with a lightly fruity yeast, and paper. And a yinge of cracker. Flavor is sweet with candied golden raisins, moderate toasty cracker malt, a tinge of paper, light spice and alcohol. Medium body with low carbonation. I see why it isn’t rated amazingly, but I feel it deserves a little higher than my 3.1--I just can’t justify adding a point anywhere.

On tap. Comes light amber with an average biege head. Aroma of malt, grain, and fruit. Taste is sweet malt, caramel, dark fruit, and honey. Quite nice.

Draft at House of Hamburg. Filtered golden-orange, big creamy head. Boho brewhouse aroma, noble hops, yeast. Doughy, peppery, pungent Heller Bock. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Sweet, with lots of yeast notes despite the filtration. Very nice on tap, fresh and delicious. Well balanced, classic stuff. Quite a nice beer to have stateside. Delicate. Awesome.

Tap @ Biermuseum, Cologne. Pours ruby copper with a creamy head and lacings. Alcohol, grain, fruit and caramel. Slightly alcoholic. Warmth.

On tap at Global Brew in Edwardsville, IL. Pours a hazy really pale yellow/green with a thin white head. Has a slightly bready aroma. Taste is sweet pale malt, almost floral with a mild hop bitterness. Not especially interesting, but well balanced, tasty and refreshing. Quite good.

Malzig-süßer Antrunk, mit dem das Bier zu spielen scheint. Es wird leicht würzig, die Süße bleibt aber im Vordergrund und auch weiterhin präsent. Hier wirkt das Bier nicht vollmundig, sondern eher frisch und ganz anders, als man es so kennt. Dazu zählt auch die nun auftretende hopfig-säuerliche Note. Erst dann wird es noch einmal malzig. Ungewöhnlich. Test vom 4.9.2007, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 12,8,10,8,-,9 - 9,15

Served on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head that fades quickly. Aroma of honey, grainy notes and a faintly fruity finish. The taste is bitter hops, honey, grain and apple. Medium bodied.

Draft. Crystal clear light amber body with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, cereal/bread, light peach, alcohol. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, some cereal, alcohol. Medium body.

From tap at Biermuseum. Pours dark orange to brown with a thick, slowly diminishing and tan head. Aroma is caramelish, roasted and vague butterish. Roasted malty and slight butterish. Vague spiced. Toffeeish and dry, rather unsweet. Breadish and roasted flavoured finish.

On tap at the Biermuseum, Colonia: Amber coloured, mid-sized beige fluffy head; nuts, raisins and dark malt in the nose; quite sweet flavour, a bit sticky, medium to full bodied; shorter sweet-caramelly-bitter finish. Drikable, but not really convincing............
