33cl bottle poured into a lager glass. Sparkling gold with small dwindling white head. Aroma is skunk. Flavor starts slightly sweet but quickly goes to skunk. Long bitter finish. High carbonation. A bit watery. Not a good beer.

I actually thought this was a German beer until I turned 13. Of course, they do have a Lowenbrau tent at Oktoberfest, but I was too drunk to put two and two together.

Pours an orange amber, leaving no head. Aroma is skunky, never a good sign. The taste: worrisome actually. There is nothing enjoyable here... carbonation is too high, skunky, harsh and unpleasant hops.

This was my first-ever German beer and it was disappointing that having one after so many years that I could not rate it higher. From the can it poured a nice, medium gold colour with a moderate white foamy head. Aroma is slight and pleasant, being mostly hops. Taste is clean and smooth, although I found it a bit on the light side.

Can. High and lasting white creamy head leaving nice lacings. Clear yellow body. Sweet barley malt aroma with grassy notes. Thin and sweet bread hay grass flavor with low carbonation and a short aftertaste.

Pours golden with reasonable head that dies in a minute or so. Smell of bready yeast, hop notes, slight skunk. Taste was nice and crisp, strong hops with a slight sour bread taste hiding underneath. Finish is very grainy, with slight bitterness. Decent example of this style, but I’ve had better for cheaper. Worth a try, but be sure to chill it well.

Smell is yeasty and very faint skunkiness. Color is clear and gold, probably. Why dirty up a glass for this. Taste is crisp and clean up front with a yeasty, doughy finish to it. Moderately bitter and grassy from the hops and the finish of yeast flavor makes it less drinkable than it otherwise would be.
