Bottle at quinns with mesandsim. Aroma is malt dominated, but theres some herbal hops too. Taste is decent balanced stuff, well carbonated and quite drinkable.

It’s a nice red-golden color and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel, The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of caramel, malt, dry citrus, that grows more dry throughout the entire finish.

Flavour: Front is very juicy and refreshing, fruity and floral accents of pine tree, resin, raisin, truffle, toffee, bark, gently woody, nice bitterness on palate biniding your tongue and releasing herbal noble slightly earthy hoppy nose, nice caramelly malt, pale malt, slightly toasty malt, gentle notes of almonds and pronounced note of marzipan, notes of wallnuts, finish duration is medium to long. A very refreshing beer.

DerWeg (1251) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 3, 2008
Plain Jane beer (bottle, Irish pub in Leipzig) but impressive lacing and bubbles.Hops are fairly bitter. Likable though. Bartend lady gave me a free Radeberger to take home. Was she on crack?? I love her though still.

johndoughty (2814) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JUL 19, 2008
Bottle. Bronze and surprisingly bitter. Very clear with no carbonation and some traces of citrus. Reminded me of a premium bitter. Pleasant.

MrRomero (1959) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - JUN 30, 2008
500ml bottle: poured clear orange. The head is beige and small. Very little aroma- just slight hops and a tad bit of orange perhaps. Flavor is pretty short as well. Just a bit of hops, slight citrus. Herbal notes with a light sweetness turning into a mildly sour finish. Decent.
