Bottle thanks to Ungstrup. Light yellow - white head. Straw, corn, cactus, grass, bitter, eeg, dry-bread (knækbrød), hay. Boring !!

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Light hay and carboard aroma and a sweet malty, hay taste. Medium body with a dry finish.

Bottled. A yellow beer with a huge fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of both grain and straw, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of grain.

Bottle, Eiscafé Gunzenhausen. Flowery hoparoma. Malty flavor, milky with a distant hopbitterness. Malty finish with some flowery hops. Unimpressive but OK.

(Bottle 50 cl) Untill April 2005 called "Spalter Vollbier-Hell". Pale golden with a small head. The locals really hype their Spalter hops, but in my experience they add more bitterness than aroma and aren’t really that refined. This lacks the normal round maltynes associated with the style and comes out more like a typical bitter German pils. 060602

Bottled
Light aromatic hop aroma. Pale golden, frothy white head, lively carbonation. Grainy start, the hoppier but all in all few spalt flavor. A bit watery, too. Dry bitter finish.

Shy hoppy nose, big white fluffy head; light malty flavour, mild, very light bodied - almost watery, thin and slight hoppy aftertaste.

Bottle
Pale golden, creamy lacing white head, low carbonation. Delicate bready aroma with a whiff aromatic hops. Grainy yet thinnish malt base with a bit spalter on top - I would have preferred a more noticable amount in the middle. Dry bitter finish.
