Commercial Description:
Created for the yearly Jazz festival in Brauhaus's hometown of Kempten. A special malt is made for this brew and the aromatic hops gives this beer its balanced composition. A cool Lager for a hot day. Pure enjoyment.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is light yellow, light density of small particles. Aroma is moderately malty (light bread, grain), moderately hoppy (herbs, flowers). Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter. Finish is moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Good flavor balance, a pleasant aroma, and very clean: another simple-but-effective entry in Allgauer’s list of offerings.

Cloudy and deep yellow with a thin, fading head. Decent nose, with notes of apples and lemons. Soft and chewy mouthfeel with a nice carbonation level. Malts were a little doughy, with a pinch of yeast mixed in. Mild lemon flavors. Hops were mild (herbs, grass) and only lightly bitter, but they dried out the mouth quite a bit. Drinkable, but not really exciting.

Bottle best by 2003. Pours hazy, murky dark gold with minute fizzy bubbly white head. Yeast (dough, sweat) malt (meal, cookie) and citrus hop (lemon) aromas with grapes and pear notes. Watery sweaty yeast with pear flavor, malty and fizzy fruity finish that goes slightly dry. Medium bodied and thin, watery fizzy palate.

Cool looking blue bottle. THat is about all that is good though. Paper thin head. Pale golden, slightly hazy appearance. Aroma is slight hops and rubber. Has a bit of hops up front in the flavor, and a bit of malt, but overall it isn't that great. I would pick it over bud or genital herpes (see previous blues lager ratings).

Maybe a smidge maltier and more flavorful than Allgauer’s Bayrisch Hell, but not much. A beer brewed for a Jazz festival needn’t be complex to succeed. The music lends plenty of complexity.

Bottle best by 2003 poured a hazy yellow with a small, quickly dissapateing white head. Aromas ofbread, honey and a hint of lemon. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of bread, yeast, honey and a hint of lemon with a crisp, mildly bitter finish.

Small head with a pale color to body. Overly hoppy taste for a standard lager.

Blech, not a very good German lager, very lackluster in all categories. Light hazy straw yellow in color. It’s like they took an average german lager and watered it down with dirty water or something. Almost non-existant head. Take Coors Light and add a hint of German Lager and you have this beer. The bottle is pretty cool looking though (the glass for the bottle is cobalt blue) which is what made me buy this cuz it stuck out (and it’s cheap) but i’ll definitely never purchase this one again.
