Nice dark color. large head, quite a nice drink. Hoppy enough, easy to drink, could be a regular drink for me if it was available closer to home!

Bottle (50 cl) from bierzwerg.de. Clear deep golden, large white head. Bready, hayish, and slightly sugary malt aroma with some grassy hops. Light to medium bodied, low to medium carbonation. Semi dry with low bitterness.

Bottled version. Poured a clear light amber with a rather thick and lasting white head. Strong apple juice aroma is pleasing. Very malty and sweet tasting beer. Not incredibly rich or complex but sweet and enjoyable. Very solid for this type of thing.

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured; deep sweet-malty nose (nutty, bready) with a tinge of honey; sweet malty start, becoming dryer soon; big malty flavour; shorter bitter-sweet finish, quite dry. A nicely rounded, very tasty Vienna !

Bottle. Low white and quickly disappearing fluffy head. Clear and beautiful golden body. Mild fruity honey aroma. Mild fruity honey flavor with a dry and bitter barley malt base. Long bitter aftertaste. Heavy carbonation.

500 mL bottle from City Beverage in Winston Salem, NC. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head. Fair retention and lacing. Aroma of nutty graininess, caramel, dark fruits. Taste is caramel, raisin, brown sugar, bread, lemon zest. Medium bodied.

Pours a clear pale golden orange color with golden yellow edges and a 2.5 finger frothy, pillowy off-white head that very slowly settles into a lasting cap/ring. Large chunks of soapy lacing left behind. Floral, slightly earthy aroma with grassy hops countered by a sweet malt presence. Hints of grass and straw countered by sweet caramel malt as well as some biscuit and toffee in the nose. Faint light fruit. Medium bodied with a crisp hop bite up front that gives off a dry, slightly bitter flavor that is nicely balanced by the earthy and sweet malt notes. Slight floral, pine flavor countered by slightly toasted malt, sweet caramel and toffee. Subtle peppery spice in the finish. Overall this beer isn’t terribly complex but it’s very nicely balanced and pretty flavorful. The best beer I’ve had so far from Weltenburg.

Bottle, pours a crystal clear red-brown, honey-malt and a little fruit on the nose, faint hints of lemon and pine, crisp palate brings dry-sweet honey, a little toasted malt, light touches of golden fruit, delicious.

From the 5 liter can. Nice amber color. A rich aroma of fruits, caramel, toffee. Thick, rich malt favor with tons of caramel, butterscotch, and toffee, fruits, a bit of cardboard. Smooth, mild. This started off fantasticly, but got very cloying as I worked my way through the pint.

Clear golden pour with a tan head. Aroma of malt, bisquits, caramel. Crisp tasting, malt leaves a nice flavor in your mouth, little sweetness, caramel. Little lacing.
