Bottled 50cl. Appearance: It pours a slightly hazy gloden beer with a tallish, nicely remaining white head. Sticky chunky lacework. Aroma: Grainy malty nose which is reminiscent of apple, marzipan, honey and sugar puffs. Some spicy hops. Taste and palate: Medium bodied. Moderate bitterness. Malty, grainy with breakfast cereals showing up. Herbal. Earthy hops throughout. Some residual sugars in the finish. Overall impression: A decent organic beer.

Refreshing beer. Not much aroma but plenty of taste. Subtle bitterness and well balanced palate. It’s not a beer that rock the world, but I’m sure that most people will like it. A bonus point for being organic.

Swing-top bottle. Creamy barley malt and hay aroma. Cloudy pale yellow color. Slightly sweet milky barley and hay flavor. Nice body. Very nice - Locher’s malt flavor kicks ass.

Bottle. Pours with a nice finger of of white foamy head with OK retention. Lemony yellow hue that’s slightly hazy. Some earth and sulfur in the nose with a mild hop bitterness and cereal. Taste is slightly sweet at first, and then a little grainy. Mild hop does come in at the end. Lighter to medium body with very soft carbonation. Boring, but drinkable.

Bottle 500ml. w. swing top @ home.
