Good appearance, dark brown and clear. Has an off-white head, fully lasting. Not much aroma, perhaps some malt and notes of something burnt. Flavor starts light sweet and finish moderate bitter.

Bottle from Leipzig dept store. Bottle drank in Hamburg. Nice light notes of grains in aroma and taste. Amazingly refreshing and pleasing characterful malt profile, hops are nestled into subtle harmony. Light palate appropriate for style. As good as the best Köstritzer I’ve had.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep brown/redish with a lacing tan head. Dark fruity and roasted malt aroma.
