A clean aroma preceded a nice foamy head when poured. It had a medium bitter flavor with a creamy finish. I kike the beer and enjoyed it at the beer hall in Munich three times.

Good beer but has a strong flavor but not really that great tasting to me. It is really sweet and has some notes of citrus fruits and a little lavender smell. Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. It has about a one inch head that is a pure white color. The body of the beer is a flickering golden wheat color. Lacing is good but lasts almost no time. Has potential but lacks the results that come with the German name.

När tyska friidrottslandslaget presenterar sin nya hundrameterslöpare heter han Hofbräu München Original. En herre som är onaturligt snabb ur startblocken, har en accelerationsfas som lovar OS-medaljer, men tröttnar efter 65 meter och blir bara femma.

JStax (683) - Devola, Ohio, USA - JAN 25, 2012
Poured from a refrigerated bottle into a pint glass. Appearance is a pale straw with a thick white head of foam that lingers quite awhile. Aroma is faint grass, apple, and some wet hay. The skunky note is almost unnoticeable in this one as well. Taste is like a water that has been filtered through some grass, but just enough to barely taint the flavor. Super light on the tongue with a just right mouthfeel. For what it’s worth, this would be a good recommendation to a person that typically drinks light macros, or doesn’t really even like beer with its proximity to the profile of water.

dumontn (411) - CHICAGO, Illinois, USA - JAN 3, 2012
Pours brilliantly clear pale gold with visible effervescence, good head retention. Aroma is clean pilsener malt, grass, noble hops, buttery bread. Taste is crisp clean malt with soft water character and refreshing breadiness. Body is light, silky mouthfeel, average carbonation, dry crisp finish. overall, this is a perfect substitute for water.
