Pours a soft subsistent pale copper yellow with a one finger white head. The nose is not entirely dissimilar from other lagers as is the same with the appearance. Smells grassy, light sweet malt accents, wet hay, not skunky and no cardboard, very light fruity notes. The flavor is lightly sweet, grassy, some wet hay, crisp, very very mild hop presence, almost indistinguishable. Has a nice mouthfeel, carbonation evident and soft. The finish is sweet upfront and then fades grassy and very lightly bitter.

Slightly sour, but nice fresh hops and some yeasty smell like fresh from a fermentor. Cloudy, orangish light brown with a nice white cover that lasts and clings to the glass. A tinge of sourness tarnishes this otherwise very nice brew: sweet and smooth caramelly malt together with some soft lotus root and appropriately moderate bitterness. Medium body, a bit tangy but not mouth puckering, moderate carbonation.

Jul 19, 2008 Swing-top bottle (50 cl), purchased at Toom Getränkemarkt, Würzburg, Germany. Shady amber, large off-white head. Bready and slightly caramelly with herbal and floral hops. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Well balanced with a mild bitterness. Very tasty.

Jul 10, 2008 Pours a murky orangish brown with a nice thick creamy beige head. Sweet caramel malt aroma followed by lots of grassy hay. Flavor follows as expected... sweet rich caramel, doughy, with a grassy bite. Unfortunately... as expected from Mochshof... there isn’t much of a finish besides a slight lingering raisin sweetness. Medium/light body with sizzling fine carbonation.

Jul 2, 2008 Swing top bottle. A lightly hazy pale amber beer with a rich and quite persistent white head. The aroma is lovely malty, quite sweet but with a good dose of hops. Some caramel and bread notes. The flavour has a balanced sweetness, tasty bready malty notes and some hops. Nice medium body, average carbonation, medium long finish with medium bitterness. Tasty.

Jun 19, 2008 Swingtop, Hamburg-Bremen. Mellow nutty caramel sipper with licks of woodsy bitterness. Simple and distinctly English-tasting. Caramel, walnut, light roast and malty goodness. Nice.
