Süffig herber Antrunk, später wird das Bier etwas intensiver und nimmt hellmalzige Züge an. Sehr hell, unspektakulär. Süffig, leicht herb, erfrischend. 9/8/9/8//8

A friendly elderly lady tended bar at this old fashioned Franconian brewpub and got me a bottle of this beer. Blonde, hazy. Malty, buttery aroma. Barnyard smell. Malty, but also a firm hopbitter flavor, in which the rural character is clearly noticed. Butter, even a hint of diacetyl. Very interesting lager: how long before this relic of old times fades away?

Bottle: Honeyish, barnyardy nose with a sweet-malty background; slightly hazy, floaties visible, golden coloured, small white head; solid sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied; sweet-rural-bitter finish. A decent brew, the archetypal Brotzeit drink.............

(bottle) Hazy, pale golden colour with yeast floaties swimming around and a rather short foamy white head. Sweet malty, slightly bready aroma with a touch of barnyard and faint herbal hops. Light-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Malty, rural taste with light yeasty notes on a herbal background. Light-bitter finish with a touch of herbal hops. Solid and well-crafted Franconian Lager.
