Bottle from Getränkeland, Hvidovre. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, toffee and alcohol.

500ml bottle. Some sweet, malty and grassy aromas. Pours clear pale gold, with vanishing white head, no lacing. Light body, average carbonation, some crispy texture. Taste is malty, some caramel, herbal. Balanced, but lacks some more flavour.

50cl bottle. Glass: Weizen. Looks like a typical lager. Wheat, alcohol, and sugary notes on the nose. Taste is pretty much lager-like (with more sweetness added), actually very close to a Premium Lager. Too sweet and alcoholic for me. Not a good beer at all.

Swing top bottle. Pale golden color. Malty, perfumed sweetish flavor. Moderate maltaroma. Hints of toffee, plums and alcohol. Not much character.

Bottle shared with McTapps. Crazy stuff. Sweetish with a huge alcohol aroma. Was only drinkable because it was cold. Only for fans.

Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Deep golden colour with low ehad and smooth body. Taste of low malt, mild hops, strong alcohol and raisin bread. Very smooth and easy to drink, but also quite sweet and heavy, just a typical Bock. This one is definately not the worst I ever drank.

#1434 Dunkelgelb mit relativ wenig Schaum, der sich auch schnell verflüchtigt. Malzaromatisch pur im Aroma. Vollmundiger Antrunk. Im Geschmack süß, aber nicht klebrig. Wird im Verlauf zügig rezent und wird im Abgang angenehm herb. Süffig. Die Charakterfrage ist eine andere.
