Bottle (thanx to joss !): Golden, bigger loose white head with a good lace; light metallic nose with a vinous touch, all in all the usual suspects in the nose: grains, pale malt and so on; soft MF, medium bodied; solid sweet, a bit almondy finish with a hoppy touch in the aftertaste. Good, but not great.........

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.

Bottle, 5.6%. Clear dark golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour has a little malt, but is remarkably dull. A little grain, hint of sweetness.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Mild hoppy and crisp aroma. Mild malty flavoured with a light bitterness and vague toasted breadish note. Light bitter and crisp finish. Ends medium dry.

Bottle from kris wines. Aroma is sweet lager and pale malts, grassy herbal hop, defo on the sweet hell side. Taste is similar, quite herbal and it mixes well with the malts, alc os as usual slightly peppery but this all makes the herbal character complete.
