Standard gold colour, weak head. Poor aroma and low taste- nothing to see here. But I had a good night with good company.

Mostly like a pale lager. Golden color, limited aromas. Nice taste and a dry aftertaste. Nothing important for me, but glad that I had it.

Bright, medium gold and alive with furious carbonation. A loose, soapy white head forms and holds well but no lace. Chaff and sun-drenched grains, straw broom hairs and old dusty, leafy hops on the nose. Light, dry and thin in the mouth with fizzy carbonation. Grainy, dull mid-palate flatlines towards a lightly hoppy, crisp grassy swallow that lacks any notable bitterness. Finish is short, clean. Pretty bland offering from this Austrian independent. Lawn-mower beer at best! (33cL, BB 30/05/12, Dan Murphy’s Currambine)

Yellow can, yay... 0.5L can indeed. Golden beer with big wobbly white head quickly reducing. Nose of CO2. Sweet taste. Aroma of white grapes, wet bread and some flowery notes. Some soft strawy hops in the finish. Unexpectedly thick body and slick feel.

Ljust gyllengul med vitt skum. Doft av gräs och hö. Sötma som av majs lätt kryddighet.

Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is malt, light bread and light grass. Flavour is malt, grass and herbal notes. Light bitter.

bottle - golden body with a white head - grainy aroma - mostly grainy flavour with some fresh hops

If this had been a blind tasting, Im pretty sure I would have guessed Stella Artois. Now you should all know what this tastes like. Just passes the "better than no beer at all test."

Can. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops and bread.
