Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas ist das Bier Lager-untypisch fast schon etwas zu kräftig golden. Der mittelporige Schaum verschwindet recht schnell. Geruchlich dominant süßlich und minimal hopfig. Der Mittelteil wird etwas grasig und ein wenig malziger. Die herbe Note nimmt ein wenig zu, die Süße verschwindet nahezu komplett. Es bildet sich im nach einiger Zeit ein eigenartiger Nachgeschmack, den ich mal als Mischung aus grasig, getreidig und hopfig beschreiben würde. Aber was habe ich bei einem Bier noch nie vernommen. Nicht unbedingt schlecht, aber wie gesagt, eigenartig. Insgesamt ein durchschnittliches Lager, könnte etwas geschmacksintensiver sein, trinkt sich aber dennoch recht gut.
