Euro Market, Queen 500ml ($3.49): Pours a deep golden color with a white head. Aroma is grass, vegetal, and a bit of spice. Taste is much the same, which allows this to be a wonderfully chuggable brew. Is this really a winter beer? I guess, insofar as a winter beer can be virtually anything. Did I have anything against it while drinking it? No. Do I think that this is amongst the best in the style? Again, the answer is no.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Deep polished brass colored brew with a bright white head. The nose is slightly meaty with dough and some hints of lemons. Smells like a decently hoppy pils. The taste is bready and light with some notes of oranges. There is also some hint of hay. This is actually pretty light and refreshing. Pretty good, but not what I was looking for in a winter brew, this is more like a summer one to me, considering the style and the way it tastes.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Light golden, small to average and fully diminishing head. Light to moderate malty - grainy and lightly sweetish aroma, faint grassy hoppyness. Medium, malty - grainy and lightly sweetish flavor and faint grassy hoppyness. Finish is short to average, malty - lightly grainy and lightly sweetish, light grassy hoppyness and light alcohol. Lightly sweetish and grainy helles, nothing special.

Hopfiger Antrunk.
Dezent gehopft steht auf der Flasche, im Antrunk macht sich dies bereits bemerkbar. Das hopfige Aroma gefällt mir, es fehglt aber der nächste Schritt, statt der etwas säuerlichen Wässrigkeit wäre die eine würzige Note angebracht. Dieser Ton kommt erst im Nachgeschmack auf, dort aber sehr mild, zudem etwas getreidig.
Test vom 21.6.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,10,10,8,11,10 - 9,95
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
500ml bottle from a work colleague’s trip to Eastern Germany. Clear pale gold, thick white head. Slightly grainy cerealy aroma. Bit syrupy in mouth and I don’t think that this is particularly fresh either but the best before is June 2011 so it must be this year’s batch. Just a bit of nasty wood and it is too syrupy on the alcohol in the mouth.
