Not so itneresting but was drinkable and acceptable. A little graspy and very north germany alike.

Bottle. Light golden, small and fully diminishing head. Light malty and lightly sweetish aroma, light grassy hoppyness. Body is light, malty and dryish flavor, light grassy hoppyness. Finish is short, malty and dryish, light hoppyness. Light and quite un-interesting.

Bottle. Sweet grainy malt and light grass aroma. Medium yellow color with large white head. Sweet grainy malt and mildly bitter flavor. Medium body. Not great but infinitely better than US lo-cal beers.

500 ml bottle in Germany. Light pale lager like color. Foamy short lasting head. Aroma a weak normal Pils. Taste is not bad for a diet beer really, probably the best low-carb beer I ever had. Compare it to an MB Ultra and you will see what I mean. Still when compared to normal beers it is weak and lacks much of what other beers have. But the tase is good and palate as well.

Bottle. golden colour with a white head. Aroma is green apple, fruit, yellow apple. Flavour is metallic, yellow apple, grain , malt, hint of hop. Thin body. Boring beer.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a nice white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops and fruit.

.5L bottle - Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a nice light golden yellow. Aromas of hops, grass, and maybe malt. Taste is crisp with a nice mellow hop flavor.

02/03 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with smaller head that went down soon. Stinks to egg and grain malt. Weak flavor, bittersweet stale malty with some strange sourish crude hop or maybe grainy flavor. Thinner in body with shorter sweetish finish. Boring, watery and quite bad beer.

Bottle from the InterSpar in the Shopping Centre West in Graz, shared with heavy
Med-sm white head that went away, fast, golden body. Oily malty nose, bleh. Empty malty taste, stale and oily, somewhat chalky, ending on a bitter hoppy note, light and crude. Noble hops? Riiiiight. Makes me even more sorry for the diabetics... is there a single good beer brewed specially for them?

Bottle. Pale gold with a thin head. Aromas are grain with light citrus and nutty hops. Flavours are grain and corn with nutty, peppery notes. Quite dry on the finish. Simple but not bad.
