Quack-Duck (1976), Bodensee, Germany Jun 23, 2007 bottle. Dark golden yellow, nearly amber, large head. Intensive flavours of malt, caramel, honey and roasted malt. Very well balanced, I really loved this one. MoritzF (4019), Ruhrpott, Germany Mar 1, 2007 (bottle, traded with quack-duck) Clear, golden colour with a foamy white medium head. Shy, light-sweet, strawy, grainy aroma with a whiff of honey and traces of spicy hops. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium to light bodied. Grainy malty taste with a touch of honey towards the finish, which is slightly sweet and a bit sticky with light herbal hoppy notes. Okay but nothing world-shaking. fonefan (5529), Ulfborg, Denmark Jan 28, 2007 Bottle. Clear light yellow golden color with a small fair lacing white head. Aroma is moderate malty, sweet, grain, fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Good balance. Body is light to medium, texture is watery. Nice and easy to drink. JorisPPattyn (4638), Antwerpen, Belgium Dec 25, 2006 Metallic golden, with ever so slightly yellowish, dense, whipped eggwhite-like head. Herbal nose, pilsnermalt, fresh greenery. Quite sweet, very malty, grains. Very slight bitterish lining retronasal, but not enough to be called hoppy. Quite fullbodied brew for a rather discretly alcoholic beer. Quite prickly, carbonised MF. Soft, mild Festbier. It’s typically well-made, but cannot aspire to any real greatness. Thanks for this rare bird, Sebastian!
