Tap @ Brewpub. Pours clear dark copper with a white foam. Estery and sweet. Sulphur, bubblegum, grain and bread. Medium bodied.

Draught at Brauhaus Lemkes am Hackescher Markt (Berlin).
Reddish amber color, discreet head duration, lively and bubbly aspect.

On tap at the brauhaus. Pours hazy hazelnutbrown with a small off-white head. Aroma of light sour malts, grassy hops. Taste is good nutty malts, filling mouthfeel, caramel and even some good light toasted toffee, decent.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy dark orange with a creamy, dense and slight off-white head. Aroma is fruity, light malty and mild grassy. Bitter, malty and slight grassy flavoured. Bitter and crisp dry yet also slight malty finish. Nicely balanced.

Draught. Light Amber colour with no great head. Aroma has notes of citrus and orange. Full body, flavours of biscuit and fruit with a medium sweet finish.

06/03 Draught at the brewpub. It had slightly hazy orange to red body with smaller to medium sized head. Fruity aroma, mostly apricots or something similar, some herbal hops. Very nice sweetish flavor, caramelly, bready and fruity malt spiced up with just a little bit of some fine lemony hops. Medium or even full body with long, sweetish caramel finish. Very nice beer indeed. We completely understood the German marzen style here, this one was quite better than one we had the day before in Potsdam.

On tap at the brauhaus in Berlin. Pours a bright amber color with atrim off-white head. Smells of apricots and craisins. Tastes of malt, bready yeast, dried fruit, and light citrus. Nice!

Vom Faß im Brauhaus Lemke, Mitte. Shining blond head, dense almost creamy. Body is deep copper colored, with a slight haze. Clean, toasted malt aroma, grainy and light biscuity. Also a berry-ish fruitiness and scent of grassy hops. Slightly sweet, toasted, caramelly malt flavor. A nice acidic fruitiness and a gentle hop bitterness is lurking under. Very slick in the mouth. Medium body strenght. Crisp, malty and fruity finish. Nice all over.

Draught at the H.Markt Lemke. Poured a lovely hazy copper-bronze colour with a small slightly off white head. Light lemony aroma, slightly acidic. Superb... SUPERB taste. A light bready malty backbone upon which a distinctly lemony and pleasant lemony hopiness was built. Lightly sweet and woody. Superb drinkability. Almost no aftertaste but who cares. I cant remember the last time a lager of this type has excited me so. This year, apparently a winner.

On draught at Lemke am Schloss, Berlin, March 2009. Murky orange/tan colour with moderate off-white head. Modest aroma with some toffee notes. Toffee carries through to the palate. Not too sweet with a slightly spicy bitter/sour edge like the pilsner. Some chocolate touches on the palate too. Pleasant enough.
