UPDATED: JAN 9, 2006 clear and bright golden colour under an ephemeral white head; the aroma is slightly herbal and oily; tart and sparkling, medium-bodied at best: finish is short and moderately bitter and dry

Bottled. Dark golden olour. Light honey in aroma. Bit harsh mouthfeel with honey and a bit of hops in flavour. No bitterness. Light mouthfeel.

Clear golden body with a big beaded white head. Aroma doesn’t grab me much at all, sulphur pong hung around for a while with some soapy malty notes afterwards. Thin body, not big flavours, good carbonation, a little watery and mainly grainy notes. Germans make good beers - generally.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Almost no aroma. Light bitter flavor and short bitter finish. Watery palate. Just ok beer.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a medium mostly lasting white head. Aroma and taste of malts and weak malts. Grassy finish. Standard german quality.

Bottle: Very pale golden, thin foamy layer, quickly diminishing; sweet malty, but also cardboardy nose, maybe some traces of hops detectable; moderate bitter, but also cardboardy flavour, quite light-bodied; very faint - almost tasteless - finish. Noble hops (Edel-Hopfen), where are they ?

Bottle @ home.
Clear light to medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is light malty, toasted. Flavor is light sweet and bitter with a average duration, and a metallic after taste. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft, finsh is metallic. (230608)

.33l bottle. very basic beer. nothing special. clear golden color with a big white head and nice lacing. Smell of hops and grass. taste is very hoppy and watery. still refreshing. not a horrible drink.

Bottled 33cl. It pours a pale yellow beer with a small white head. The nose reminds me of a non alcoholic beer. Hops, breakfast cereals and honey showing up. The taste is hoppy and sour. Low bitterness. Poor lace. Breakfast cereals and honey in the flavor too. Mediocre grassy finish. Probably highly drinkable.

Bottle. Sparkling. Yellow colour, white head. Thin flavour. I guess it is OK for a low-carb beer. Hint of bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is OK, but the flavour is simply too boring.
