Bottle by 17.07.2012. Sweet nose, citrus and light grass, very fresh! Pale, clear golden body with a soapy white head. Taste is lightly sweet with light0medium bitterness and a yeasty-bready finish. Powdery feel to the fullish body, citrus subdued and a little life sucked out, still floral and somewhat refreshing, if simplistic and surprisingly heavy.

(Flasche) Es hat eine leichte dunkel Gelbe Färbung, es ist klar filtriert und es hat eine weiße Schaumkrone. Es riecht primär nach einem leicht würzigen Hopfen umrundet von einer malzigen Süße. Der Geschmack ist beim ersten Schluck großflächig komisch(nicht DMSig aber ähnlich störend). Sonst ist es süßlich, vollmundig. Hopfenbittere ist kaum zu schmecken und die Karbonisierung stimmt. Zusammengefasst sitzt es auf der Reservebank.

(bottle) pours a clear yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of floral hops and pale malts, light straw and raisins. flavour is mostly the same, with a heavy popcorn finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle: Pale golden, small and stable white head; mild grainy nose with a very shy herbal-hoppy background; mild to moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, light bodied and soft; short malty-herbal finish. Clean and well crafted, but a bit boring......

bottle from biershop-bayern.de. Clear golden yellow, large white head. Malty nose. Malty, grainy, hints of bread. Shy hoppy flavours in the finish.

Bottle from the Dodgi Deli Cowley Road Nov 08, consumed later in the month. Pours very pale yellow with a large white frothy head. Feels soft in the mouth, some sweet sherbert and ice cream wafer taste come to mind. Really enjoyable. A7 A3 F7 P4 OV15

Bottle from kris wines. Aroma is pale pale lager malts, some floural and herbal hop, as it warms honey comes through. Taste goes on a similar banter, quite drinkable if a bit unexciting.

Bottle. Golden with steady carbonation and a white head. Aromas are crisp grain and citrus with biscuit and light hops. Flavours are sweet biscuit malts with resinous citrus. Earthy, lightly herbal hops on the finish. Decent.
