Bottle 500ml @ gunnfryd
Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, grain and floral hops. Taste is light sweet and light bitter. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

On tap at Kulmbacher Bier-Haus, Verona Lots of foamy head. Very clear golden pour. Little bitterness in the aftertaste. drinkable but not great.

Mittelintensiver Antrunk von frischer Herbe und wenig Malz, deutlicher ist noch die Gerste. Diese spielt später eine größere Bedeutung und dominiert sogar vor der eher mäßigen Würze. Frisch wirkt hier die Verbindung von Hopfen und Herbe, die aber gering ausfällt. Später wird die Herbe, nun hängt ihr eher eine süß-grasige Nuance an, stärker, das Bier bleibt aber süffig. Ein schwaches aber trinkbares Festbier. 11/8/9/7/9/8

courtesy of oh6gdx - clear golden in colour and with a fast disappearing foam; mellowed honeyish nose with hints of phenol; low carbonation and medium-bodied, some sweetness and a low bitterness; residual sugars and more honeyish notes in a mellow aftertaste where notes of paper appear - doesn’t look at its best

Bottle. Deep gold with a bubbly white head. Not much aroma. Taste of hop and some sweet malt, very much pils like.

Appearance: Deep golden color with a thin frothy head.
Aroma: Nutty, sweetish malty scent.
Flavor: Sweet honeyish walnut-like malt character with a slightly sour finish.
Mouthfeel/Palate: Light to medium bodied beer with a fizzy carbonation.
Overall: A pleasant festbier with a definite sweet malt character. A bit thin bodied.

Shame the bottle is broken, is the second of this brewery that I lose. no great taste for descent when having a nice chat or watching a match.

Bottle @ Bamberg. Pours clear golden with a creamy white head and lacings. Very grainy nose. Flavor adds some dough and buiscuit and some herbal hops. Medium bodied.
