Thanks Gerhard for this bottle! Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a large white head. Smell is caramel, fruit, cereal. Taste is begins like the aroma which is sweet then in the middle it turns crisp with fruity hops ending dry. There is a bit of alcohol in the aftertaste as well but not severe. Body is medium and luxuriously carbonated. A nice treat for sure.

Bottle at brewery, thick yellow orange pour. Sweet malts, orange marmalade, nice dose of bitterness. Full mouthfeel. Very nice bock

Oro buona schiuma piuttosto persistente leggero fruttato buon malto morbida discreto corpo inizio dolciastro poi un discreto amaro leggero erbaceo

Amber body with a tall white head. Malty aroma, caramel. taste is pretty the same. Slightly hoppy ending.

29/12/2012 Ma che siete venuti a fà (tap). Dorata, abbastanza limpida, schiuma bianca leggera e non molto persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, caramello, pane, leggero luppolo. Sensazione confermate in bocca, classica bock dall’attacco maltato dolciastro e finale leggermente amarognolo. Corpo medio, carbonazione abbondante. Anonima.

Many thanks to Erlangernick for this one. Thanks Nick. Hazy orange gold thick lasting white head. Decent malty aroma. Bit of alcohol. Bit of puke. Its decent moderate malt and hop. Some character from being bottle conditioned. Yep decent. Liked the hops on the finish.

Bottle… Clear golden lager with a huge, rocky, white head that never fully dissipates. The aromatics consist of doughy malts and herbal, floral, spicy hops. Medium to full-bodied with lazy carbonation. The flavor is bittersweet and a touch medicinal. The hop bitterness is briefly apparent, but then overwhelmed by the sweet malts. Finishes bittersweet with a lingering medicinal element and sugary sweetness. Bottle courtesy of Erlangernick!

Pours a clear and golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt and caramel. The flavor follows the nose with additional notes of alcohol. The palate is sweetness with some alcoholwarmth. Overall a beer below average.

Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is malt and fruit. Flavour is malt, fruit, light grass and light alcohol.

Bottle @ Odense Summer Tasting, 2011. Pours cloudy golden with a creamy egg white head and lacings. Grassy and grainy nose. Quite hoppy also. Smooth and full bodied. A bit of alcohol but very drinkable. Ends dry and bitter.
