Bottled (thanks KR!). Pale golden colour with small white head. Aroma is bready malts, some slight fruityness, herbs as well as quite strong grassyness. Flavour is being quite much the same. Not good, not bad either.

Laffer Antrunk von seichtem Getreide, schwach kommen Assoziationen von Marmelade zustande. Sofort muffiger, gummiartig und unstimmig. Das muffige im Aroma setzt sich fest, stärker wird das Bier nicht mehr. Es bleibt so bei dem laffen Getreide, das durch Gummiaromen weiter heruntergezogen wird. Ein Bier zum Wegschütten! 6/4/4/3/9/3

Bottled 33cl. It pours a faintly hazy beer with a fast diminishing white head. Fizzy. Some apple juice in the nose. The taste is rather sweet. Some candy showing up. Poor mouthfeel. Watery and metallic with a hint of chestnuts and mushrooms. The alcohol is too present. Musty. Lime and lemon in the finish. A awful lager.

Bottled (BB 11/2007)
Golden color, small white head, some lace. Fruity, apple-like sweetness in the nose. Sweetish but light fruity (green apples) malty brew, no hops found. Smooth carbonation. Hammer is quite misleading name for this light and sweetish pale lager - one could expect strong powerful malt likka!

Blond color; frothy head, reminds me soapy washing water. Poor Lager, very low bitterness, and with a light off flavor to lower the score. Stay away.

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2006 labeled: "Man’s best choice" - very slightly hazy amber colour with little foam remaining; aroma of corn and caramel dominates; light-bodied, moderately sweet but mainly deeply neutral; no bitterness; short watery finish - a full glass of nothing; my conclusion is that I’m not a man ...
