500ml bottle (Snow@ChrisO)
Messy sweet yeasty bottom of the bottle, alas. Quite nice fruityness. Plenty of breakfast cereal. Would have been better to have an earlier pour, I’m sure.

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Koelschtrinker (8485) - Köln (Cologne), GERMANY - MAY 5, 2011
Sehr milder Antrunk von weichem Malz, die Aromenschwäche ist entäuschend. Süßlich, im Mittelteil hefig. Später wird das Bier zwar intensiver, auch hier ist es mir aber zu mild. Süßlich, malz-würzig, eher laff. Naja... 10/7/8/8/9/8
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20 RCL (2029) - Waltham, Massachusetts, USA - JAN 7, 2011
Understated aroma, hard to pull much out, dried hay and grains with a tiny hint of leather. Flavor is very grainy, like whole grain bread with a tiny hint of an electrical fire note that actually kinda works with the beer, adds some complexity.
