Feb 16, 2005 Yellow body with a creamy white head. "German" aroma... reminds me of a few nights of over-imbibing around October. Its mostly a caramelly malt with light hop presence. Taste is a little more bitter, but there is still that sweet malt to back it up. The bitterness gets into a slightly astringent papery thing, almost like licking envelope glue. Not my cup of tea...

Feb 7, 2005 Saw this at the beer store today and remembered that I had it some time back. For a German lager, it’s about as standard as it gets, perhaps even moreso than Warsteiner. More soft on the palate, though, more round-feeling in the presentation, a little more sweet. I guess this is the true Original, using the oldest recipe in recorded history.

Feb 7, 2005 Pale golden with a full, but quickly dissipating head this brew has a full malty nose with grassy notes. Mouthfeel is slightly chalky and the malt grainy flavor lays on the tongue like a thin blanket. Well balanced. Light and slightly sweet, this is a good session beer.

Jan 18, 2005 Pours a light golden color with some head and not much lace.
Aroma was skunky, actually. Some malt presense, but that’s about it.
Flavor is sweet with some light fruits, but a little grassy. Still good, though.
Palate is thicker than I was expecting. Overall it’s pretty good and worth trying.

Jan 13, 2005 Pours pale gold with a dissapating head. Aroma is malty sweet with a little apple. Flavor is sweet with a hint of honey. A grassy finish. A little metalic and watery. A nice light lager.
