Bottle, MHD 18.02.12. Juicy malty nose, a pretty clear golden pour with a sudsy white head. Taste is bitter right off the bat, sweetness more apparent with time. There’s a breadiness in the aftertaste but it’s mild and diluted by a sharp near-metal, and the strong carbonation doesn’t help it, either. Too much alcohol showing, but at least the bitterness lasts a long, long time. Medium body.

Süßlich-fruchtiger Antrunk, leicht würzig, wenig hopfig werdend, mild. Sehr süß im Mittelteil, etwas herber werdend, im Abgang dominiert die Süße erneut. Test vom 10.3.2008, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 9,8,10,10,-,9 - 9,15

Bottle 50cl. Pours an clear-filtered brew with small white head. Hoppy impression, typical broad Export taste. Nothing special, a bit disappointing for this great brewery.

Helles non disonesta, molto generica, l’unica cosa che mi pareva potabile in un pub in cui dubito tornerò.
