500ml bottle (One Pint Pub) 6 soft milky aroma, gentle perfume hop. 4 cloudy yellow, small head. 6 lovely almond tang to the body, like a good bock would have, but without any of the punch. 4 refreshing palate, quite full and crisp carbonation. Finish lasts for a while. 12 what a lovely zwickel. crisp, full, soft, tangy, a little bit butter.

Bottle looks very simple, but good, the beer in the glass turbid, small head. Starts very moldy and old, a bit sourish. Then more and more malty-floury, mild-hoppy notes. Finish well balanced, a bit yeasty, quite drinkable. Good!

(Bottle, BBE 09/2010, at One Pint Pub Augustfest ’10) Poured hazy yellow. Head was small and white. Aroma was grainy and sweet. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, carboard, mildly grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter.

Holzhausener Landbier--1999 16.9 oz. Bottle. 5.00% ABV. (3.75 / 5.0) Pilsner? Clear light straw golden color. Light pilsner Saaz front. Body has flavor profile similar to Pils and Oktoberfest, but lighter. Smooth light lager body is tasty with good hoppiness. Spicy clean end. Sampled 11/23/1999.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is a very sweet malt with some grain and hay. Flavor is a lot weaker. Some grass and malt but very watery and weak. This is not a good beer but i will not kill it to bad as I see the last rating for the beer was from 5/08. I probably got a really old bottle.

Bottle (donated by joss !): Pale golden, cloudy, bigger, slowly collapsing loose white head; citrousy-worty nose, mixed with traces of yeast and spicy hops; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering spicy-fruity-hoppy finish. A goody.........

(swing top bottle) Cloudy, yellow colour with a big but non-persistent foamy white head. Sweet, slightly yeasty and worty malt aroma with notes of citrus and spicy hops. Light-bitter flavour, slim bodied with a soft carbonation. Moderately yeasty, slightly worty malty nose with subtle fruity accents (citrus); dryish, slightly sweet and bitter finish with a light but aromatic hoppy bite. Nice brew by a tiny Suebian brewery (09.04.08).

Bottle. Fairly yeasty, dry clayish aroma. Cloudy neon yellow, off-white foam. Strong fruity entrance, citrus fruits, minerallic yeast, herbal and aromatic hops hiding in the background. Fairly carbonated, hence a bit too light mouthfeel. Peachy retronasal.
