Bottle, labeled Original Import, 5.4%. It pours a slighlty chill hazed orange-golden body under a minimal layer of off-white bubbles. Fruit-syrupy sweetish nose with grains. Sweet flavor too, too sweet I think, with grains as a backbone, and a little bitterness lingering. The bitterness is overpowered by the sweetness all the way though. Medium body and appropriated carbonation considering the sugary feeling. Far from impressing, but not bad. Lacks on quenching qualities I think. 091102

660ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Malty aroma with corn and a hint of lime. Malty and slightly sweet taste with grain, corn and a faint hint of honey. Drinkable, but not very exciting.

.66 liter bottle, labeled "Original Import." Pours bright golden color, healthy column of bubbles, standard white head with no lace. Can’t detect much smell, there was a whiff of oxidation upon opening, but it’s gone right away. Taste is upfront with nice, spicy noble hops. Malts stay toward the back, just light bread, if there’s adjunct, it’s not obvious. A light European lager that I caught while still fresh. At $2.50 for a big bottle, it’s worth checking out.

Bottle. A pale yellow body with a thin fizzy white head, medium carbonation , no lacing. Aroma is light with a little corn, honey and some citrus hops . Flavor is lightly sweet with a hint of lemony hops , quite balanced , light body , thin mouthfeel ,with a slightly dry short lemony finish . Quite sessionable , not too bad ,but I don’t think I would buy this again.

On tap I think in Salzburg, but you see this one quite alot throughout Austria. Color was a clear, slightly bright yellow/gold. Aroma is light (as expected) with pale malt mostly. Flavor was bready, yeasty and mineral water. Better than most in the style.

Pale straw color with a modest off-white head. Dry grass, wet wood and hint of pale malt aromas. Fairly zippy feel. Mild sweet, pale malt start. Actually sweetness seems to travel all the way through in this one. Some sweet herbal hops join in the middle with hints of wintergreen. Actually the more I think about this one compared to some other Euro lagers, pils, pales, etc., it’s kind of ok. At least it is fresh.
