(500 ml bottle from LPG Biomarkt, Rauchenbergerstrasse, Berlin) Pours a hazy golden with medium head - looks a bit like apple juice with foam. Aroma of hay and citrus. Hits the palate as a light-bodied brew with thin texture, lively carbonation, midlly bitter taste with sour notes and a slightly bitter finish. Drinkable but relatively unremarkable except maybe for the organic ingredients and the slightly sour notes.

(bottle) pours a hazy yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of straw, herbal hops and summer meadows, with a light peppery spiciness. flavour is cleaner, mostly pale malts and herbal hops, with a hint of caramel. medium-bodied with soft carbonation.

0,5 l shared bottle. Hazy golden with a short lived white head. Malty aroma with candy sugar notes. Light sweet and lasting bitter. Light to medium body. Medium carbonation. One of Roger Protz’ ″300 beers to try before you die″. I fail to see how this beer makes a difference.

50cl bottle from Bierzwerg. Poured hazy, pale golden color with a white head. Aroma is fruity and slightly malty. Flavor is citrus fruity and quite sour, salt and mineral. Reminded me a bit of Gose. Nice, crisp and drinkable.

Bottle. Cloudy lemon with a decent lasting head. Aroma of citrus fruits and earthy hops. Nice frothy feel to the head, sharp fruity hops with quite a bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Golden, hazy, small and fully diminish head. Light malty and grainy aroma with some sweetness. Body is light to medium, malty with some sweetness and fruity hoppyness. Finish is short, malty and dryish. Quite light bodied lager, unfiltered but otherwise nothing special.

330ml bottle. Bright and cloudy, the colour of a golden sunrise. Thin white veil of foam that skirts around the edge of the glass. Fruity aroma with some earthiness to it. Flavour is surprisingly zingy and leaves a thin coating on the tongue. This would be a good session beer. Flavour is a little perfumy.

Bottle. Light lemon and barley malt aroma. Hazy pale yellow color with small head. Sweet-tart lemon, sour milk and malt flavor with a light grassy hops finish. Decent - unusual citrus notes.
