500ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki, Oktoberfest 2008)
Pale orange, small white head. Soft grainy aroma, a touch dry. Very soft palate, soft carbonation. Very well balanced - not too pointy in any particular direction. Very malty, loads of grains. Hops in nice full buds, and that’s the best part of the finish. Could do with a touch more bittering, and still remain a good session.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Quinns.
Clean gold with a very good white head. Sweet and fruity German malt with some slight hops giving decent bitterness. A little fatty and oily but it just about gets away with it. Clean mouthfeel. A reasonable pils.

500ml bottle at Battersea BF 08. Pale gold with thin white head. Some hop on aroma. Decent lager, bit of hop on end. Yeasty aroma. But citrus hop on finish is good with an overall impression of a clean lager (no fish).

Vom Fass at the brewery tap 27 Jun 07. Pale golden colored. An OK creamy head. Some fruity aroma. Modest fruity flavor with some bitterness in the finish. Lacing.

On tap (at the brewery): Golden, firm creamy white head; faint grainy-worty nose with very faint illusions of hops; light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, soft MF, light to medium bodied; grainy-fruity finish with atinge of sourness in the aftertaste. Drinkable, nothing more..........

Bottle. Pale golden with a slight white head. Herbal, grassy aroma followed by a sweet malt flavour. OK but not memorable.

Thanks to my girlfriend who brought me a bottle from Germany. Golden color with full, foamy head. Fresh, herbal taste, and good sweetness from the malt. I found it disappointingly thin on the palate. A fine example of the style, but nothing too spectacular.

Tap, at Kneitinger Keller Regensburg July 2005. Gold, moderate white head and gentle condition. Chalky grain sweetness in the nose, solid malt sweetness in the mouth balanced by a gentle flowery hop note, lingering peppery hop and chalky grain in the finish.

Bottled:Hoppy aroma. Big frothy head, clear golden color. Light sweet, pleasant malty taste, velvety texture, medium bodied. Notes of aroma hop, herbal. Very dry and bitter finish.

Bottle
Golden fluffy white headd. Flowery perfumed hop aroma. Sweet candyish yet quite lightbodied malt body overlaid with aromatic hops. Too little substance.
