Bottled:
Very nice creamy head, but not very stable. Golden color. Flavor is malty, light sweetness, mild and smooth. Some grain notes. Dry, medium bitter finish. Quite overall.

Trockener, etwas bitterer Beginn. Laff, langweilig, geringe Hopfigkeit. In weiten Teilen hat das Bier kuam Aromen zu bieten, erst spät regt sich etwas und eine gewisse Herbe kommt auf, die im Nachgeschmack sogar unerwartet würzig wird. Belanglos. 8/5/8/7/8/7

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts fine hoppy-fresh. Intense grasy-hoppy notes, not too dry. Modest bitter background with a touch of lemon. Well balanced finish, quite drinkable. Nice!

Clear golden, small head. Light grassy nose. Dry and medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Mild creamy malt and careful grassy hops. Fairly low bitterness

Bottle. Strong aroma of malt and bread, some mould. The small white fizzy head has a short duration, the body is yellow. The taste is malty, light spicy, light alcoholic finish. The body is medium strong, light oily and dry with a medium carbonation. A good Export.

Bottle 33cl @kaufland. A clear yellow beer with good head. Smell is lager kind of and hopy. Aroma is malty with medium body, quite spicy hops, good beer in the average a basic german lager.

Bottle 330ml. w. swing top @ home.

previously tested on German BTO 04/2007: Malzbetont, aber auch deutlich hopfiges Bier. Langanhaltender hopfiger Nachgeschmack. Insgesamt schön hopfig und getreidig, ziemlich hopfig für ein Export, aber ein richtig gutes Bier!

Bottled. A light golden beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with a light touch of straw, while the flavor also is sweet malty, but with a stronger presence of straw, leading to a lightly bitter finish.

Bottle, 5.2%. Bready aroma. Pale yellow colour. Nice, stable white head. Good malty flavour, low bitterness. The maltiness is good, but it is also quite sweet.

Bügelverschlußflasche: A bit unclear, lazy carbonation, rather small white foamy layer, sweetish-grainy nose with a metallic tinge; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, nearly medium-bodied; detectable fruity (apples?) traces in the slightly lingering grainy, bitter-sweet finish. Quite O.K., a bit boring.......
