Unusual find, I think. Has a nice bubbly body, and a nice billowy head. Smells a little hoppy and fruity even, with a hint of some wheat. The flavor is very well balanced with light hops and a touch of grapefruit. Finishes a little malty with a dry finish, due to the high carbonation. Not bad at all.

I haven’t seen this beer in awhile. I had a bottle in West Virginia; I guess we can’t get this brew in PA. Excellent Bock beer!! Well balanced, clean smooth taste, bitter finish. Great German style beer!

Pours hazy yellow, with white head, aroma has notes of biscuit, some citrus, and a touch of wet cardboard like malt. Taste is some earthy and citrusy hops, touch of biscuit and bread, finishing sweet and slightly dry.

Rich gold color, with a full body under medium head with rich hop flavor as well. This beer is a highly drinkable! Especially at Oktoberfest!

This beer pours a dull amber/yellow with a medium white head which was long lasting. The aromas are bread, light skunk ala malt liquor and hint of lemon/orange. Sweet and slightly spicy mouthfeel in flavor, finish was mediocre.

[Tap] Pours a deep golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet malts, grass and hints of metal. The taste is of sweet malts, light citrus, bread, sweet caramel, floral hops and a touch of alcohol. Surprisingly thick mouthfeel, with an almost cloying sweetness at times. Low carbonation levels. It was pretty good overall.

Draft. This beer pours a dull amber/yellow with a medium white head. The aromas are bread, light skunk and light lemon. It has a sticky mouthfeel and is lightly sweet. Not a bad beer even though I am a hophead. Cheers!

Pours a nice bright golden color with a nice foamy head that seems to last. I really enjoyed this beer. It reminded me of past times spent in Munich just enjoying a helles.
