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.

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.

Pours brilliant clear yellow, Smells of sweet Bread, slight grass. Tastes super crisp and refreshing, very light and delicious. Highly recommend

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.

11.2oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a clear gold with a thick white head which slowly settles into decent lacing on the top of the beer and sides of the glass. Smells is slightly skunky at first thanks to the green bottle but this soon gives way to bready malt along with a grassy scent from the hops. The flavor is sweet malt along with grassy flavor from the hops. A moderate bitterness pervades throughout lingering after the other flavors have faded. There is some lingering sweetness. Overall this is an above average beer. The only downsides are the moderate skunkiness and it is just a tad sweet. Otherwise excellent.

Can and bottle. Not a bad beer indeed. It has a nice golden colour with a decent white head. Sweet-malty at the beginning and bitter enough at the end. Refreshing one.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours clear golden with a huge rocky white head. Lots of visable carbonation. Aroma of hay and dusty hops. Taste is good grassy hops, pretty balanced malts and easy drinkable.

Pale gold with white head. Slight straw-like aroma. Pretty dry, nice hops on the front. Aftertaste is not very good though, a kind of skunky, earthy aftertaste that lingers. Overall, refreshing at first, kinda weird at the end.
